  • Apple will crush the DoJ in court if Garland sticks with outdated arguments

    teejay2012teejay2012
    Legal arguments aside. I do not recall seeing such a Hollywood staged press conference by the DOJ for other tech companies being targeted. Or 'individuals' who deserved a lot more attention when it comes to justice required. Garland staged this, with his backdrop of loaded AGs for effect, not information, as reflected by a very short Q&A. There were enough journalists that could have asked some tough questions about 'why this, why now'? This had effect. AAPL tanked by 4% wiping out almost 200B in value, harming many investors as well as pension plans. This is not nothing. There really was no need for this except for the grandstanding show of it, to counter Garland's image as an ineffectual AG and to shift the focus of voters away from 'other issues' in the news.

    Maybe the problem is not that Apple is going to finally bring RCS to the iPhone in 2024.  Maybe the problem is that only Apple can bring RCS to the iPhone platform, instead of letting whatever app users choose provide RCS functionality on the iPhone platform, whether or not Apple thinks RCS is ready.
    RCS needs to be integrated into the system and is not an add on app. Apple agreed to integrate. That should be the end of the interoperability complaint as far as messaging. However there is nothing within the specifications that says the bubbles must now be all the same.

    Only time will tell if you are right. Why don’t you reschedule this post for an update in 2 years. Personally my money is on the DOJ who, you know has actual lawyers and stuff, as opposed to two writers of an Apple blog. 
    It literally says in the article that we talked to DC antitrust lawyers.

    Two years is optimistic. I'd be surprised if this was done in five -- which is also addressed in the piece.
    Mike, I think your article and use of antitrust lawyers sources is excellent. And much appreciated by those of us who were mostly fuming.  However your warnings on political references in the comments are at ends with an action brought by the DOJ that is almost entirely political. As you correctly conclude Apple has already made most of the changes. What else is left but the politics?

    As much as the world is a better place for Apple having existing, I feel that Apple has to be taken down a notch - forced obsolescence in operating systems, software, hardware, and online services; morality police in passwords and data; over the top DEI initiatives; endless 'highly exclusive' proprietary wireless, chips, and online services; etc., etc. Apple hasn't done much really, really wrong as they have horribly neglected to do much 'politically' and socially right. This means they should win the suit but lose much money, customer loyalty, and developer/vendor attention/ service. Maybe a 30% drop in stock prices can deride the Arrogance. Hopefully, Apple will be a bit more like Tesla with absurdly open protocols and standardization - benefitting the industry more and the bottom line less.

    How does a stock price reduction 'hurt' Apple? It doesn't. It only hurts investors which includes pension funds that pay dividends to seniors. The options to senior executives are plush even with a 50% drop. And no, I do not want Apple to become Tesla, even a little bit especially in leadership.

    I am not sure if the iPhone 16 features are worth waiting for or just get the 15 now. Also the next version of the Ultra watch... Should I wait for the DOJ or EU reviews on what is best choice for Apple's new products? LOL
