  • EU tells Apple to open everything up to its rivals

    mubailimubaili
    Here is a thought, maybe EU should open to include all countries. 

    EU seems to have an especially difficulty in understanding what competition is. Apple is not a monopoly and thus is allowed to do whatever is legal to gain an advantage over its competitors. Plus, Apple also needs to make tons of money for its shareholders.

    All the compromises Apple has made over the years mount to not much. From now on Apple should be strong enough to say no more and prepare to move all its operations out. Apple can’t change a thing by continuing the engagement. The only Apple gets out is the damaged reputation. It’s no longer worth it. As a shareholder I am going to press Apple to pull out just like what Google has done many years ago. 
    'A miniscule fraction of that 19%'. 

    Don't lose sight of context. 

    This is a tit-for-tat move following on from US actions from six years ago and continued to the present day. They've shown enormous restraint so far.

    Moving out would make things worse. Where would they go? How much would it cost? And if they did do that, there really would be little to no reason for China not to do what the US did to Huawei. Prevent it operating in one the largest markets on the planet. 

    As a shareholder, what do you think about losing that entire 19% of earnings instead of a fraction of it? 
    Google,FB do well without that market. Apple would be able to. Apple could spend more in other markets to capture more shares. Now it’s Tim Cook’s turn to say no more and be prepared to leave. Anything less than that is a breach of fiduciary duty to the shareholders and to Apple’s ideals.

  • Early previewers praise new HomePod's 'just wow' audio

    mubailimubaili
    Apple, please do an even more high end / bigger one so I can use it for home movie theater. But I am very glad that Apple brings back the big HomePod. I listen music on the origin ones every day.

  • EU will force Apple & Google to allow third-party app stores, payment services

    mubailimubaili
    Apple could easily say any customer who pays for the iOS software can do whatever they want. It costs $499 initially and $99 updates.
