  • Apple will crush the DoJ in court if Garland sticks with outdated arguments

    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

    This drama between Apple and DOJ reminds me of the scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian movie where John Cleese’s character Reg questions “what have the Roman’s ever done for us”, and then the crowd says things like sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, etc.  It’s like the DOJ is saying “what has Apple ever done for us.”  Apple brings a lot of innovation to the table.  In a capitalist economy, that innovation is usually rewarded, not punished.

    love the Monty Python reference LOL

  • EU antitrust chief ready to get on Apple's case about fees and safety warnings

    Such policies are vindictive and clearly personal for Vestager as she portrays herself as the Joan of Arc for non competitive EU companies such as Spotify. They are hardly victims. These attacks will make EU a very unattractive place to do business, will worsen security for the average user without saving any money, and certainly will not 'up the game' for EU companies. What Vestager really wants is for successful US tech companies to leave the EU. Period.
