    Ok, let's see...  Apple has zero stores in Colombia.  Oh well...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Store

    Those are bricks-and-mortar stores. You don't need a bricks-and-mortar location to do business.

    Ever hear of Amazon.com? How many bricks-and-mortar stores do they have where you live? How about Roku? Or Sony? Or LG? Or Logitech?

    How many retail stores does Nintendo have? Two: New York and Tel Aviv. Zero in Japan: not a single one.
    I think what he meant was the market in Columbia is so small that Apple don't bother to open an apple store there.

  • Apple, Google, Facebook's AV1 standards group under antitrust investigation in EU

    Why don’t EU company invent something useful for the rest of the world to use and earn some royalties?

    Will EU sue Intel and AMD because they are duopoly on PC desktop market?

    Imagine US or Chinese government file monopoly lawsuit against ASML because they are too advanced and too good.

    I was looking through a Grizzly catalog the other day. They carry DeWalt, Milwaukee and Grizzly's own brand of battery operated tools. The batteries are all unique, not interchangeable. Why aren't countries investigating these companies? Shouldn't we have a standard battery that plugs into every tool? Of course not, because each company has a right to build a tool or product the way they want to do it. Same goes for Apple products. 

    I don't get it.  You see another MASSIVE problem (non-interchangeable batteries) and instead of advocating for a solution that will reduce waste and frustration (a mandated battery standard) you somehow convince yourself the current situation is just fine because Apple has a nonstandard port and you want to believe Apple is always right.

    Yes, we absolutely should have standard batteries.  Yes, countries absolutely should be investigating tool companies.  That there aren't battery standards isn't some imaginary "right" of corporations, it's failure of governments to do their job.
    So should car companies forced to use the same size of tires too?

    Isn’t they are the same government that fine Apple for not including the charger that creates e-waste?

  • iPhone dominates premium smartphone market with 62% of sales in Q1 2022

    The bar for “premium” phone is rather low. $400 is middle range at best.
