| millions of users have iPhones so developers MUST deploy there therefore competition MUST be forced because (it is actually a deeper question, my microeconomy professor told us monopoly makes profit and it is the potential source of innovation, in perfect competition there is no innovation money) because it favors us consumers in the long run not just because products become cheaper but monopolies also suppress innovation I guess Apple was innovative and created monopolies but they should innovate from monopolistic profit and create new monopolies and let old ones gently fade away in competition... plenty of big companies become stagnant actually Apple is withholding web innovation and plenty of cross platform innovations never were born in the last decade... nowadays even single developers can create great cross platform products via web tech Apple could have innovated in web instead of withholding it and they would have the best web browser and they could deliver apple products on all OS strategically it is a very bad decision to try to do the same over and over again (vision pro, closed walled garden) they misjudged browsers, electric cars I mean face id and optic id and eye tracking is great but we live in a world with chinese and south koreans who copy like hell or a company that is even called meta... apple is nobody in AI too... no cloud business what else did they miss that steve has never had? |
