  • Analysts mostly nonplussed by DoJ suit, and believe Apple will win

    Like it or not, this will hurt the Biden administration more than Apple.

    Why?

    Trump can run ads and have talking points like “Now Joe Biden wants to take away your gas stove, your reliable gas-powered car AND your iPhone!"
    Biden did not need to add this to the list of reasons not to vote for him. This is an affront to anyone with an iPhone. If you wanted to win Votes go after cable and telephone companies, private equity, and credit card companies. Merrick Garland has fumbled with Trump as well. Almost four years and nothing. 
    I agree again. Trump can completely make hay with this

    . “Biden is trying to make your iPhones less secure with government meddling”

    ”Biden is trying to make your iPhones more easily accessed by government “

    ”Biden is trying to make your iPhones look like Android with no differentiation”

    FYI: Merrick Garland is a centrist/moderate and so is Amy Klobucher who was the Senator spearheading the tech regulation legislation that never gained enough traction in 2021 and 2022.
    This is not tech regulation. This is trying to turn Disneyland to Yosemite national park because the people at  going to Yosemite on a $25’ticket might feel left out  looking a Disneyland and people visit g there in a $200 ticket .

    all while not realizing most people visiting both parks freely chose to go there and are very happy with their choice.

    More commentary on CNBC from George Mason Law Professor

    ” This DOJ case makes no sense”

    I think there are some illiberal zealots working in anti-trust in the Biden administration. This lawsuit might be the result of a bone thrown to the Warren-Sanders wing of the party (that bone being the selection of some zealots for anti-trust positions). 

    I wonder if Garland and Biden are taking the attitude "let the babies have their bottle", knowing full well that this effort is likely to fail. Some people need to learn lessons the hard way. But as someone who is not an anti-trust zealot and thinks it's vital for Biden to be re-elected so as to avoid a Trump dictatorship, I wish they could have waited to launch their suicide mission until after the election. 

    If a GHW Bush type person could be the R nominee this year, I'd be very tempted to vote for him as a protest against this kind of stupidity. The country needs a sane center-right political party to maintain policy balance. 
    I agree 100 percent . Bone of not, this is no time to be trying to take down what is the crown jewel of American innovation . Apple is even loved in China for god sakes, what other American product can claim that?

    of course, they need apple's money  B)

    seriously, apple gonna lose,
    No they won’t, not to this incompetent DOJ lol

    Just look at Garland and his incompetent face and the multiple top firms Apple will have fighting this , yes I said multiple law firms , not just  multiple lawyers…

    my guess this will never get to trial and will be reduced and dropped eventually

    DoJ is just upset Apple keeps closing all the backdoors and no more good ones remain.
    You just said the quiet part out loud. Apple is willing to goto the end of the earth to protect the security of its customers and  the government does not like that.  

    We should be thankful Apple is willing to protect customers from government snooping around our private data .
