Thoughts on the #Apple antitrust case?
My first reaction is that it's going to be extremely difficult to prove.
I've long been critical of Apple's walled garden and their massive markups on components like storage and RAM, but I understand their appeal and clearly so do millions of customers.
I could have bought an iPhone but I chose Android devices because that's what I prefer. Does Apple really make it that hard to move away?
@voltronic only every time I contemplate a different operating system...so not a fan of Android devices. Not as durable, in my opinion, and there's a lot of PITA programming you have to do.
@joycereynoldsward
Neither of those things are true in my experience.
@voltronic my experience says otherwise.
One thing that's certainly true of Android is that it's incredibly fragmented, so one person's experience can't tell you much about someone else's.
Something like 90% of Apple device users are running whatever the latest version of the (single) OS is. The figure for Android users is less than half that.
@voltronic
They'd put a bazillion tiny third-world cellphone makers in India and such right out of business, and they don't choose to do that, and GOSH.
