NOTHING should tie a user to a given platform. Moving to another platform should be a painless, transparent operation on every level and be undertaken within a time framework. 

I am sure Apple would not mind making sure this is possible ...... if the competitor does it, too ....

In reality, wouldn’t this be up to the app developers? If Apple and Google decided that all app developers have to be able to help users switch platforms, then the developers would be angry, no?

Apple has a monopoly on their own products, go figure 

Guess I should sue Ford for having a monopoly on the Mustang.

I’m disappointed Apple didn’t roll out an App Store like iOS.

People called me different names for suggesting the new M1 Mac software should be treated like iPhones App Store and said “PCs have always allowed software via web” as if moving forward was a bad idea.

The Mac does have an App Store. You just have the option of not using it. And even if they locked down macOS like iOS you think that companies like Avid and Adobe would put their software in the Mac App Store? Never happen. And companies like Rogue Amoeba can’t put most of their software in there either just based on how it works. Those of us that use this stuff would be out of luck. No way. 

I’d rather see this on the iTunes Music store. 

Odd design coming from Twelve South. I have two of their charging stands. The High Rise (uses a lighting cable) and the Forte for the Apple Watch which uses the charging puck that comes with the watch. Both integrate the cable seamlessly.
