"Buy your Mom an iPhone." Congratulations, you played yourself.
-
There were no credits at the end of the video, but whoever animated this one did an excellent job
-
You don't need a literal 100% monopoly to be guilty of antitrust violations
-
Is Apple a monopoly? TLDR: Yes
-
Any repairer will tell you apple would rather you buy a new phone than fix a broken one
-
Apple's greatest genius was putting out a flawed product with limited intercompatibility and convincing its' userbase that it's everyone else's problem.
-
The real reason is that someone at apple forgot to pay a monopoly bill to someone in the office
-
“buy your mom an iphone,” wow.
-
One of the first times I've wanted the government to win a lawsuit.
-
Chief, that's not 90 seconds
-
Signal doesn't use a proprietary protocol, it's free and open source.

I'm mostly happy about this suit - it's about time Apple got held to account for this stuff - but the super-apps part of the complaint annoys me, as imho super apps themselves often lead to the exact same anti-competitive walled garden monopolies, just on the software only side. In China, if you want to text your friends, wechat is basically mandatory, just like iMessage in the US, so allowing these types of apps seems like it could negate a lot of the good this suit would otherwise cause.

As a mobile developer I can say that apple is doing everything to be a pain in the "you know where"
-
Well, if MS were doing the same thing on their Windows OS, nobody would disagree that it is a monopoly.
-
Claiming that Apple isn't allowing superapps to exist, as if the DOJ itself would support the idea of a single app handling everything done digitally, is funny as hell.

At the end, Tim Cook is going to buy his mom an Android
-
I'm not sure if it's the same in the US, but in the UK, anti trust laws think of a monopoly as 40% market share.

Both of my Children moved from Android to iphones because it was more difficult for them to be involved in social connections with their friends. They were missing out on small things here and there that felt like VERY large things to them. I despise apple. Manipulative and evil. I am so glad someone is doing something.
-
I gave up on iPhone back in 2015 because i couldn't fucking use bluetooth to send file to my pc. it bothered me that they limited my choices and i am very happy with android ever since.
