Apple gets paid 20 billion dollar each year for making google the default search engine. And you assume Apple is keeping your personal info private but like google they use the same data but encrypt it so it can’t be directly point to you as a person. They don’t handle it differently. It’s a myth that’s kept alive.I agree that Apple could do so, and at the same time, they don’t need to, and while it may not be to my advantage, I don’t think they should be forced to do so. At least not for free.
It’s why I feel the DoJ lawsuit is nonsense and expect to see it thrown out altogether.
If I were running Apple, I wouldn’t want to spend all that time and resources creating the foundations underpinning the Apple Watch, only to give it away to Samsung for free and watch them undercut my offerings. There is no justification behind this unless you specifically have an axe to grind with Apple.
This is why Apple products have so small market share, but their products are profitable. Their business model is in direct contrast to Google’s, where they gave away Android for free (in exchange for your data). I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect the same of Apple without some other form of remuneration on their end.
Microsoft did get big fines for the same practices Apple is using now. The only reason Microsoft invested money into Apple and kept it alive during the nineties was to not have a total monopoly.
I’m glad the DOJ and the EU are stepping in. A pitty Apple didn’t it out free will.
It’s obvious you don’t understand what opening up the API’s to others mean. Because your arguments are clueless.
