  • FTC concludes manufacturer repair restrictions harm consumers

    This is an important first step and is good news.

    We'll see what comes of it but it is about time that manufacturers began improving their designs to make things easier to repair or upgrade. 

    Oh, don’t forget easier to hack, plunder and sabotage.  I’m very satisfied that Apple builds highly secure products that others can’t easily access even in their physical possession.  The focus of the US Government should be on encouraging companies to more fully lock down their hardware and software.

  • European Commission says Apple is in breach of EU competition law

    So I suppose that the EU wouldn’t mind if Apple activated a pop up reminding you that you already have access to Apple Music when Spotify notifies you of a cheaper alternative to an in app purchase?

  • Morgan Stanley cuts AAPL price target to $156 over stagnant peer stock prices

    Apple has no real peers, only competitors in similar verticals who are not as capable in any of them.  Makes it tough to use them as a comparable.

  • Epic and Samsung send 'Free Fortnite' care package with jacket, Galaxy Tab S7 to influence...

    They’re ignorantly harming their own case and building Apple’s grounds for damages. 

    Parading their popularity dismantles their position that Apple’s store’s rules have harmful effects on developers. Demonstrating that the title has enduring popularity can be used as grounds for Apple to elevate the value of a damages claim for Epic breaking the tos. 

    The problem Epic has: beyond a small fervent set of players: no one cares about their position. The longer the case draws out the more it harms themselves. Gamers get bored and move on to the next big thing.

    They’ve made a miscalculation if they think trying to make apple look like a bully has a tangible effect on Apple’s business. They’ve built an echo chamber that’s only close to their ears. 
    First let me make it clear I support Apple's position. That said ...

    The odds are about 100-1 you are not a lawyer, legal expert or any other kind of authority who knows what they are talking about. An ability to be somewhat articulate does not mean you really know squat about the topic you have chosen to opine about. It's a good thing for Epic that they did not come to you for legal advice and strategic planning.

    Apple may lose or Epic may lose, but let me assure you, they are both is a lot smarter than you are. You should also know Epic's popularity has nothing to do with the claims they have made against Apple or their attempt to weasel out of a contract. It's a lawsuit and not a popularity contest.
    I would be careful trying to determine who is “smarter” than whom.  Those professing to know such things are generally not part of the A team themselves.  Take that as a helpful hint.
