#iPhone #Illegal
It is because us government as well as eu politics (usbc instead of lightning) are not so busy and get bored so they search an succesfull company for making something better so they have to support crap companies (that make android phones).
i dont know what i concluded out of this video.
And yet Tim Cook is pretending to be friend with Marques when he is calling out Apple
Thanks EU for sort of starting this! ❤️
I find the Intro Stupid, comparing physical compatibility with something that can be fixed with software integration…
That’s so crazy because in EU and probably the rest of the world literally nobody uses iMessage on a large scale
It’s absolutely insane. No government should be allowed to tell its tech companies how they have to develop technologie and what they have to develop it for. It’s absolutely nuts. The SMS analogy is amazing. Apple made iMessage like ober 10 years ago, it’s not their fault that SMS sucks and that Android phones didn’t develop something themselves to replace the SMS. Now the government is gonna tell Apple they have to share technologies with their competitors, technology they themselves developed and paid for. If you don’t want an iPhone don’t buy an iPhone. If you want a PixelWatch, don’t by an iPhone. If they force Apple to do this they should force every other company in the US that does slightly the same thing. Good luck making GalaxyBuds, PixelWatch, and windows laptops pair with iPhones as perfect as with other Apple products. Good luck getting NVIDEA to make GPU’s for Mac’s.
Outside the US the main problem for iPhone is price. Most (not all, but most) people buy $100 phones. No one “budget” or “used” iPhone can’t compete with this.
you can tell someone is broke and stupid when they have a new iphone product
12:30 Love that.
iMessage and FaceTime are literally the best messaging and video call applications out there. WhatsApp, rcs, or whatever else is sig worse. I wish Apple would let android manufacturers use FaceTime and iMessage. Would finally allow so much cooler phones.
It’s indeed like Canon lenses only working with Canon cameras. If Canon had 60% market share, it broke your lenses if you used an adapter, banned all adapters from other vendors, made it so photos taken with other cameras cannot be printed on Canon printers and if you had another printer your Canon camera would only print at 20dpi. That is indeed illegal.
I really wished I didn’t start to use an iPhone😂
If businesses are smart enough to make a product so good that people buy and use them they shouldn’t be punished for doing so. I think the government had a hand in the creation of the narrative of this video. In my opinion, it’s just a creative way for the government to steal money.
This video and narrative is bs. “The wall is too high”? The garden is too good? People are too stupid to escape the garden? This is bs. With 18M followers, MB is the person to contact to for government to use to push a narrative of this nature.
We literally have technology to make it companies just dont wanna lose on sales because of money plane and simple 😅
If I talk about the Indian market, iPhone to most people is just crazy expensive and dare I say, useless. Most people here do not want to spend that amount of money on smartphone. For example, my mother wants to use a smartphone majorly for YouTube and WhatsApp and some other streaming services. So, she uses a $150 smartphone which serves all these purposes and still lasts for 3–4 years.
So, the real question here is, why even buy an iPhone?
anyone got the dark sky weather app . ipa file?
Seems to me the European comision is more powerful the US department.. since they said to Apple no type C port, no European market
@mkbhd Speaking of Grip Case, can you ask Dbrand to make one for the OnePlus 12 already? That’s the main reason holding me back from upgrading. No grip case to protect my phone!
I see the ecosystem thing….but nevertheless: As a sport athlet a Garmin watch is the way better option than an apple watch.
sport functions are just way more advanced, you can add more sensors and battery life is on a complete different level
I think you kind of missed the point with your analogies. Apple is not being sued for building better products and integrating them better than other competitors. Most smartwatches can have the same features as the Apple Watch and do with Android, it is just that Apple is actively forbidding them from accessing these features, usually under the pretense of security. You cannot update AirPods without an iPhone. These are different categories of product that must be intercompatible. If these things are allowed to stand, then get ready to only use Edge on Microsoft and say goodbye to Firefox on Apple. Oh right, oopsie, Apple is already blocking Firefox from working properly on iOS.
Expensive ≠ Good.
No ones making ppl buy iphones lol you have free will Apple isn’t the problem. I hate apple but they still aren’t in the wrong lol
Wild you’d support a product so awful as the grip case. Showcase you putting an sort of bigger phone with that case on into your pocket and then out. Let me know how well it goes. It’s side grip is like barbs keeping it falling out but so much that it’s a huge pain to take out of your own pocket without it quite literally pulling your pocket inside out
I don’t understand how this is a monopoly maybe folks can help me understand. Legal definition of a monopoly in the US is “when a single company or entity creates an unreasonable restraint of competition in a market”.
How can it be an unreasonable restraint when there is firstly more choice on the android phone side of things, and two no active effort on apple to restrict other companies outside of interacting with apple products.
If you don’t like iPhone’s there are many other options like Google, Samsung, OnePlus, Oppo, Xiaomi etc.
I feel like people are jealous of Apple’s success in the market through what I can only see as good product design. There’s no force applied to make people buy iphones and no force applied if you want to switch. Having moved from android to apple and seen people go the other way it’s not difficult.
It’s consumers personal choice what you go with and there’s no force or coercion in a free market structure which is where tech companies operate for the most part.
Spicy take it seems like folks are penalising success instead of letting apple continue to be a closed echo-system of great products that if you want to use one you’re best using them all. If you don’t like that, buy any other phone/laptop/headphones which you are not hindered in any way to do by apple or any other market force.
The best thing to ever happen to me was to switch to Android. It automatically filters 90% of the bullshit people in your life.
Apple should lobby more. This whole issue goes away.
Its fine, im never leaving iPhone
I finally switched to iPhone this year, it isn’t that much different than android other than that it likes to make decisions for you, set settings and manage your phone for you, whereas android you have the freedom to optimize many aspects of your phone, I have a regular analog watch, and I use studio headphones, wireless is just trash, I can’t say that the new iPhone 15pro camera is better at all, actually disappointed in the picture quality compared to my Galaxy s22 Ultra from 2 years ago
As a full iPhone user who switch from android phones in the Philippines. No one here cares about imessage and such services… people here only use iphones for social media quality like tiktok and instagram.
You can be a droid guy or you can be an apple guy. The only thing what’s matters is who invented who made the function. If some company makes a new whatever they have it. They don’t have to share it. That’s the same with space x they invented a new kind of rocket why do they keep the technology why they spend to everyone. Bc they made it with a millions of dollars
You’re giving the gov way too much credit. I can’t believe ppl are falling for this commie sht. iMessage = monopoly. 😂
iMessage not a huge deal breaking thing in asia..
As an Android user, No.
Whatsapp gang 🖐
I think all of this probably stems from the fact Americans and their carrier deals
I rarely see a phone that of any kind that doesn’t look like it’s been through a war. Not the greatest status symbol
Apple didn’t make a wall they made a maze.
My messages app only contains 2fa messages lol. I don’t like whatsapp but it is what it is
As the American thinks World = USA, they also think iPhone is the only option left.
Bro, i just purchased Oneplus Nord CE 4. I dont care about apple and its feature. It got 100W charger in the box too🔥charged 60% in 18 Min⚡
I don’t think the wall analogy make sense. It’s not hard to leave, people just prefer apple’s garden because the flowers are better.
This is ridiculous. Let Apple do whatever they want, no one is forcing you to buy their products. I just owned an iPhone 4 and that’s the last apple thing I owned in my life. I have a laptop, desktop pc, smartphone, several smartwatches, VR headsets, handheld consoles, tv box, none of them are Apple products, and no one ever tried to use the force to make me buy their products. I don’t think either that I’m missing anything, in fact I have tried several apple products during the years and I know my decision to stay away from them is the correct one based on what I want. If someone wants to buy an Apple product, they should know what they are getting into (walled garden) and decide to do it or not based on that. Ridiculous discussions and politics.
