  • Judge sanctions Apple for blatantly violating 'Fortnite' App Store order

    Correction: to stop think it’s the victim.

  • Judge sanctions Apple for blatantly violating 'Fortnite' App Store order

    this is insane. Apple lost its way when buried in tons of money. It’s time for Apple to go back to ask itself why it is in the business of making computers and iPhones at all. According to Jobs, its main purpose is to change the universe. Making good profit is a way to guarantee that it can continue to do so. 

    Sure, Apple should be paid for its efforts but it could be argued that by developing for its platform to make its platform popular and desirable is in itself a form of payment already. The rich and vibrant ecosystem is the main reason people are willing to pay premium for its devices. 

    Time for Apple to gracefully to acknowledge developers contribution to its success, and to rebuild that relationship. It’s time for the most valuable and profitable company to think it’s the victim. Lose a bit but gain tremendously. It’s a great trade.

    Listen to Phil and make Phil the leader.

  • EU tells Apple to open everything up to its rivals

    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.

  • China widens ban on officials using iPhones but isn't enforcing it

    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.
