The immediate effect might be the loss of $20 billion in payments to Apple, but Apple would clearly then institute its own search engine, which would generate billions in revenue, much like Google, so the overall impact would be much smaller financially and also put Apple in charge of its own search revenues. The question then would be whether that in itself would raise regulatory scrutiny.   

And then Apple would be accused of being a monopoly. The irony here. 

Here. We. Go. Again 

So, one thing I find funny is even Android app stores are not treated equally.

At work, I am looking for a specific app to use on our Android-based smart TV but the app I am looking for is not available on the app store that this TV manufacturer bundles with their TV...but on another Android-based smart TV from a different manufacturer, it is available on their app store. I cannot download their app store on our TV without jumping through hoops and management will not allow it.

Yet Apple has its own app store and people cry to bloody hell and back that it's not fair that the Apple platform does not allow for multiple app stores. What is wrong with this picture?

Especially with GM’s CEO getting the flack she is, I which industry would move to a more modest $250,000 to $500,000 base salary and all other income is based off of performance of the company.  That way they have the most Incentive to make the company do good.  

Like the Rivian CEO, should be making enough for a nice living situation, but shouldn’t rack up the $$$ until he is able to get the company profitable. I think that is a fair approach and allow for companies to reinvest as much as possible back into them. It also helps us investors in a company, as stock prices should go up. 

Glad Tim is getting his beans. While not the most innovative period of Apple, Tim has done a great job with market cap and share prices. 

Kinda like when Jobs only took a $1 salary?

So many people are saying that Apple isn’t really innovating much anymore. The market is pretty stagnant. I’m not sure where you want Apple to innovate? Apple have done a lot under Cooks watch, not to mention increase market cap beyond belief!

I dunno, Mother Nature seemed pretty impressed with Apple in the product announcement video? /s

But seriously, Apple's products are at a much higher standard when it comes to recycled components compared to every other phone on the market.

I can't wait to see the Austin Mann review with the 15 Pro Max!
