US sues Apple over iPhone monopoly, explained

The DOJ alleges that Apple blocks “super” apps, suppresses mobile cloud streaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, blocks cross-platform messaging apps and forces green bubbles, limits third-party digital wallets, and even limits how well third-party smartwatches work on its platforms. The Verge’s Alex Cranz explains the lawsuit. #Apple #News #Technology

How do you see this, third DOJ lawsuit against Apple, play out?

Selling pro laptops with 8gb of base memory and charging $200 for memory upgrade is an absolute theft.

The memory upgrade price gouging needs addressing more than anything, it’s borderline criminal.

Apple about to drop a $500 million dollar donation to a special someone.

Apple is the King of software restrictions.

I’m an Apple user, but I Love how all governments around the world are FINALLY attacking the monopoly! After Apple, take on Google with their Chrome browser and other stuff.

Ticketmaster too please, need to be open that case again

The sideloading ban is such a copout. Imagine owning a computer and not being allowed to download stuff from the internet, unless it's on the inbuilt app store on the laptop. Apple does this to force developers into the 30% revenue split on the app store

The irony of this lawsuit ( that should have happened a long time ago.) is just how much Apple benefited from that Microsoft lawsuit.

The turnaround time on this video is super impressive. Great job Alex and team!

The problem with Apple’s ecosystem isn’t that it’s seamless and vertically integrated, it’s that it’s a captive ecosystem. A massive one that now branches across most facets of people’s tech and monopolizes their options over time.

Apple doesn't allow the real Chrome or Firefox on the iPhone/iPad, which is crazy. Chrome uses the Chromium engine and Firefox uses the Gecko engine, but Apple won't allow them

[kneelesh]

Gonna get a bucket load of popcorn for this

[shantooobeg]

8gb ram 200$
256gb storage 200$
That's apple inovation

I am gonna be very honest here….

The CLOUD GAMING issue is super BS from Apple. Xbox Gamepass needs to use the Browser to work on iOS cuz Apple has some idiotic rules over Cloud gaming.

So I understand the MANY complaints against Apple. Some may be justified but others are straight up BS from Apple. I have an iPhone and iPad and they really need to low the gear on their strict rules.

Like LITERALLY if the user wants to take the risk it should 100% be on the user’s decision. Not theirs.

It's about time. What took the DOJ so long?
