This is what our government is worried about? I’m as liberal as they come, but as I’ve told @TerryP I’m not a Biden guy. This is stupid! Competitors bitching and moaning because they’re not as good as Apple and our government decides “we should help their competition”

Why did you think they set their sights on Google last year?

Here's something that makes me pause, and I'm not a third of the way through the article.

”Apple has maintained monopoly power in the smartphone market not simply by staying ahead of the competition on the merits but by violating federal antitrust law.”

People in audio/visual will not buy anything other than Apple/Mac products. They are superior. Which brings me to this as I continued to read. There is a reason this happens.

Apple allows iPhone customers to send high-quality photos and videos seamlessly to one another, but multimedia texts to Android phones are slower and grainy

Because Android hasn't developed the same audio/visual software as Apple/Mac. One is better than the other, on the merits of development.

HOWEVER...

I also know how Apple users are restricted on advancements. IE: This site and the software we use worked more quickly with Android. The Apple/Mac development staff didn't upgrade their software to be compatible with ours.

Have they closed off a segment of the consumer population? Yes.
Have those consumers made the choice? Yes.

Galaxies are God Tier smartphones. Apple products are marketed towards prissy teenage white girls in upper middle class suburbs.

As Terry said above Apple products are far superior in audio and video. I like the simplicity of Apple products compared to Samsung or any other Android products

How many of those are you going to find in N Korea? The last I read, Apple "rules" that country.
