  • Cable companies offered brandable Apple TV remote alternative

    I am confused.  How does this remote work?

    More correctly stated:  How do you hold this remote - orientation wise?  Does the power button go at the top or the bottom?  I wish it was as clear and obvious as the Apple remote...
    Well there’s a couple options for you. You could take a cue from the picture provided. There’s a pretty good chance that they took the picture with the power button at top because that is how it is supposed to be oriented. If you distrust the photographer and you’re one of those people who reads things, the buttons with the words “guide” and “menu” shouldn’t be upside down when your holding it. One last possibility is to use the pictograms on the remote that show a microphone and a television, both of those shouldn’t be upside down when holding the remote.

    Will I do motorcycle delivery full time with my 11 Pro max on an handlebar mount and have had no problems? I have to take it off at each delivery addy so gets lots of rough handling too. 


    Never put a question mark where god put a period.

    I want McDonald's to sell my homemade burgers, should I sue?
    Well, if McDonald's had been selling your homemade burgers for years and decided to remove them right as they were introducing a new burger ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... you might have cause to look at them sideways.  That's not to say I agree with Chuck's opinion.  I don't.  It is to say you can't ignore the fact that the products were already being sold in Apple stores.  It's not as if they asked Apple sell their stuff and were denied.  Their stuff was already there and removed.  Not exactly the same thing.
    Of course you can ignore the fact that the products were previously being sold at their stores. That doesn’t matter at all. Just because there was a previous business relationship doesn’t mean there has to be one going forward.  Unless there is a contractual obligation, in which case they would sue for that not antitrust.

    In this particular instance there is no case against Apple because it is their store and people are aware of that when they enter. Apple could limit itself to only its own products if it chose to.

    However, in this context and considering the wider situation, you are right that it is doing itself no favours when it comes to evaluating its anti competitive leanings. 



    “ there is no case against Apple because it is their store and people are aware of that when they enter.”
    Neither of those points have anything to do with antitrust. In fact if any company is sued for antitrust then the company who is sued will be the one who owns the store. I don’t see any other way. And peoples awareness or expectations of what a particular store should sell has nothing to do with it either.  As far as “this context and considering the wider situation”, I don’t think this move will have any impact on anything. It’s not anticompetitive since all of those products are available at other stores, both online and physical stores.
