Is Apple a Monopoly?

[dtay]

If ANYTHING needs to be called out as a monopoly it's Disney.

The thing is that what the US is telling us is that all Android apps must work on iOS and all iOS apps must work on Android.
Also they say that Android should also have Apple apps and Apple should also have Android apps and also Siri must work with Android and Google assistnt should work with Apple??
I don´t understand their definition of monopoly!
What they are telling us is that everything must work with everything.
So then also car companies should share software and so on!
This is too radical.

Make sure to sign up for YouTube premium on a computer. It saves 5$ a month compared to signing up directly in the app

YouTube Premium is one of the best subscriptions services out there.

Thanks drew for this common sense motivation while I deliver these packages. Gives me fuel in the morning

[spageen]

It drives me up the wall when people call Apple a monopoly

Youtube premium is a pretty sweet deal. All the video viewing with no adds, there are some movies that were free to watch with ads that you can now watch without ads AND you get youtube music which means you can cancel spotify or apple music and save some money. Creators getting a better cut than if I had watched with ads is a nice perk as well.

iMessage can't be a monopoly when What'sApp exists

[NickTsiotinos]

A teenage programmer was able to make iMessage interoperable. But Apple can't??

[hirengandhi]

I don’t care about having other app stores or wallet options. What I care about is fair pricing regarding ram and storage upgrades. Also I shouldn’t be charged more for a subscription if I do it through the App Store vs going to the vendor’s website, this Apple needs to cool it with the overcharging on their storefronts.

The ridiculous thing is that these things are pretty much luxury devices at this point. I don’t need an ipad and a mac or an Apple Watch. I don’t need an iphone a £99 android smart phone would be sufficient. We buy these devices because we want them. We aren’t forced to unlike utilities like water, has and electricity which we actually need.

[MorbidGod]

This has nothing to do with a monopoly it has to do with the government wanting more people to use 3rd party messaging apps like Facebook Messenger so they can take those messages

The FIRE PHONE was nice. I love 3D though. Here’s to Apple bringing back 3D I mean SPACIAL video

RCS on Android has end to end encryption just like iMessage

[sdfjsd]

I think they mostly meant that it's harder to use other watches with iPhone, which it is. It's just kind of unclear of whether or not that's Apple's fault.

25:37 Even the iOS App Store argument would make a bad case because the Play Store is a very strong competitor to the App Store. Amazon also has their store on their devices, and I believe Samsung still has their app store as well. Microsoft has their app store too, and in my opinion, it's better than the Mac app store. The App Store has very strong competition.

[alperwolfie]

Yes and they need to open all signing signing certificates, there needs to be more options in the update settings where WE CAN DOWNGRADE when Apple brings out shit bricking draining battery updates OVER THE AIR.

[emmetbazala]

If apples a monopoly so are taxes lmfao. Their argument is soft and weak….

[Max]

If Apple wins the case, then other companies will follow Apple 🍎

[stormrider]

I think if everything is the same and works the same way, the whole thing is a monopoly! So if Apple is exactly like Android and Windows then the whole thing is a monopoly
