Never had an iPhone, never want one either.
Monopoly of a segment of profucts have always been a sore subject for the government. Fair trade and competition is an equalizer in capitalism. Oil, and phone companies have a history of monopoly issues.
How about just doing your job others are charged for doing this! DOJ is a joke and citizens are done playing your political games
This analysis of the charges almost totally miss the mark. It's the gate keeper games that Apple plays
Garland is scrap the bottom, along a year over year shrinking profits for Apple. Garland knows it, kangaroo suit, Apple wins.
This is Retaliation and Meritless just won't be honest.
Apple and droid both hold 19% of the market.
They are suing Apple because Apple fought the Feds from getting access into their system a few yrs ago.
people can choose if they want Android or iPhone. we do not get to choose if we want Google on our phone, if our data os sold or to whom and for what. we do not get to choose any privacy what so ever for that matter. why doesn't the government go after Google? you want to talk about a monopoly?
I would like a phone that Google isn't forced on us, we have a choice in privacy of our data and location etc. and encryption
Apple must not of donated enough cash to Democrats. Only way this happens.
Walmart and Amazon also monopolizing markets
It would be good for citizens if ALL monopolizing businesses were scrutinized and dealt with. Citizens have carried corporate welfare policies for decades, while being squeezed for profit on the other end.
464 M $ Bond ! 😮
I love your media 👍🏻
Apple must have pushed back on some federal control scheme.
this guy was s an idiot!
As an apple employee we broke the law with censorship!!!
stocks lost 113Billion as of this text!!!
notice the 113?!?!?
Dems aren’t gonna be satisfied until the United States is like China. Get ready to have a credit card for every website you go to people. I guess it’s a monopoly because you wanna make sure that the integrity of your software matches the hardware smh. A bunch of idiots upset about not being able to get their favorite android apps on their new iPhones.
BRING ON LUIS ROSSMANN, THIS GUY HAS NO IDEA WHY THISNSUIT ISBACTUALLY BEING BROUGHT.
This is 100% about the increased security you get on an Apple that the government does not want people to have.
Hmm, this channel is sooooooooooo much better then listening to RW Robbie and his conservative BS!!
Get all the news in 17 min vs 1+ hour of listening to a 6 year debating!
That’s all you are good for
What happen to single spending bills. Washington DC is trash, it is a swamp. We need a new government. Vote them all out!
Main reason I never bought iphone or any apple products. No freedom to try other devices and no freedom to customize the phone. Iphone users can only do what apple allows them to do. And android is far more innovative and just more satisfying and fun to use. Why would I want to buy the same phone year after year after year after year.
government interference at best.
Talk about total misrepresentation of the lawsuit or the grounds upon which it is based. The DOJ is suing Apple for monopolistic systems, not expressly because of their market share, but because of how their hardware and software ecosystem effectively take control over key things. For example just two years ago Apple was sued and lost said suit, because their appstore was the only one available on Apple devices. They didn't allow third party appstores at all, or sideloading of unofficial third party apps. Their appstore agreement is part of this suit, those who develop for or provide an app through the Apple appstore not only lose a bulk of the value of their apps to what they have to pay to Apple, making said apps far more expensive than they need be, but in many cases the agreement prohibits the app developer from releasing their app on competing appstores like Google Play or the Windows Appstore. Their seamless integration comes with the caveat that many Apple periphery devices are incompatible with non-Apple devices. Your airpods, for example, aren't compatible with other Bluetooth enabled devices. You can pair them with your Android phone or Windows computer/tablet/etc, your PS5 or Xbox etc, but you won't get any sound from them.
In this sense, their purposefully designed limitations of overpriced hardware is monopolistic. Especially now with the move towards their own silicon (the M1-M3 Arm based CPUs) removing formerly achieved greater hardware compatibility when they used Intel based hardware (x86-x64 based CPUs and associated hardware in PCs, Bluetooth 2.1-2.4 standard in iPhone 5-8, etc).
In effect, they've removed their hardware and software base so far from their competitors and implemented policies to the extent that they're locking people out of that greater cross compatibility and competition. By making certain apps exclusive to Apple, even if the developers don't want it to be exclusive, locking out cross compatibility for their peripherals, overcharging for outdated and underperforming hardware, they've created an electronics ecosystem that is a monopoly.
Yet another attempt to seize more power for the government deep-state.
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about
Why does the hill pull rope so hard for the left I thought you prided yourselves on neutrality? Or has that changed?
Like Google
🍏🍎😁
Apple should start making android phones 🤣
I only had one Apple product before and I hated it.
This is just a smokescreen to make it seem like they are doing something more important than stoping the wars in Palestine and Ukraine.
Are you for real?
Apple should relocate to Russia, it is a freer country and less corruption.
Obama/Biden are destroying America
I DONT WANT APPLE TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE ANDROID. it’s literally why I buy apple. So dumb.
Like Ukraine could ever pay back a loan, stop throwing good money after bad.
lol yeah the USA is going to lose this one
This dude is clearly pushing an agenda. He's downplaying and mischaracterizing the issues.
If our losers, formerly known as politicians, aren't reading these bills, whata stopping someone from putting a random aentence in there that says "Trump Won 2020" or "Trump is Pardoned"!!!😂😂😂
This breakdown misses so much. Never discussed the apps which are restricted by Apple to work in their operating systems, charging developers a whopping 30% commissions and very strict guidelines, suppressing competition, and many other proprietery issues which allows Apple to control EXCLUSIVITY.
Smash their illegal walled garden. Apple is also clueless on AI, whilst Microsoft has zoomed ahead, integrated the #1 AI into every product, and is requiring newest CPUs to have an NPU. MSFT 3.19T/AAPL 2.64T and dropping LOL
turmp will get wayyy more screen time than biden just based on biden being hidden from cameras and turmp is a carnival barker and the world is feeling more volatile. It's a great political environment for demagoguery
Dumb guys shouldn't talk about tech.
I would just like to see Apple remove the charge on books purchased in the Amazon kindle app. It’s annoying that I can’t buy ebooks on my iPad and iPhone.
I like trust-busting but I hope they go after Google and Microsoft too
Iphones are garbage. Grow up Sheeple.
WE THE PEOPLE, DO NOT WANT ANY DEAL….SHUT THIS GOVERNMENT DOWN….NOW.
WE DO NOT APPROVE OF THE BUDGET DEAL, AT ALL….
