Microsoft says that if Apple isn't stopped now, its antitrust behavior will just get worse...
"Innovation will suffer."It's the go-to cry of the out-innovated.Also: Invoking the legacy of Ma Bell might backfire. The U.S. phone system was never better (relative to technology), and Bell Labs didn't seem to have a problem with innovation.

Epic vs. Apple takes new turn as 34 US states & DOJ side with 'Fortnite' maker
I guess this is a lesson in the danger of unintended consequences. Legislators now actually equate iPhone with all smartphones. Dumb and wrong, but a testament to Apple's brand power."Apple continues to monopolize app distribution and in-app payment solutions for iPhones...."

What to expect from Apple's Q1 2022 earnings report later today
No, as the article clearly states, "Apple's first fiscal quarter corresponds with the fourth calendar quarter of a year." Apple's fiscal years (like those of many companies) begin Oct. 1. These are results from the first quarter of Apple's 2022 fiscal year.byronl said:you mean q4 2021?

When did the US replace capitalism with a planned economy? Asking for a friendwood1208 said:Sure! This administration has no idea how to fix chip shortages. First they said, last half of 2021 than first quarter of 2022 and now 2nd half of 2022. Than 2023. Keep moving goal post. They don't know what they doing.

It's an interesting balancing act, isn't it? Soviet-style centralized planning is obviously a disaster, but the planning done by the Invisible Hand of the Marketplace is shortsighted and focused exclusively on cost. Maybe a little planning – offering some sort of support for industries deemed to be valuable to national economic security – wouldn't be such a bad thing, Charlie Brown.

Of course the administration can't fix this shortage; the U.S. government doesn't manufacture chips. U.S. industry has been transferring its manufacturing operations to locales with cheaper labor for decades. Now some of the chickens have come home to roost. One can hope that the disruptions spur companies to rebuild domestic manufacturing capacity. Intel's recent announcement in Ohio is a good step, but it hardly repairs the years and years of decline.wood1208 said:This administration has no idea how to fix chip shortages.
