Only time will tell if you are right. Why don’t you reschedule this post for an update in 2 years. Personally my money is on the DOJ who, you know has actual lawyers and stuff, as opposed to two writers of an Apple blog. 

It literally says in the article that we talked to DC antitrust lawyers.

Two years is optimistic. I'd be surprised if this was done in five -- which is also addressed in the piece.

Talking to a lawyer and actually having a whole justice department of lawyers is two very different things. To play on some of the politics going on here, Trump talks to his lawyers all the time but he hasn’t won a single “the election was stolen” case because of it! Or maybe go ask Mike Lindell for his expert views?   Pick a time period that you like. I’ll be here. Till then it is just speculation as there is just so much that is unknown. Till then my money is still on the DOJ.

Popcorn ready! It is about time the US stepped up and filed this case. Concerned about safety? Only download from the official Apple Store. Your iPhone should be like your Mac - download what you want from where you want and accept that there are risks to doing so if you go outside the Mac App Store. 

Fanboi’s will go crazy! It will be so thin you won’t be able to see it from the side, it will have a 3 min battery life, will be made of a wonderful new material that they have been developing for this purpose for 32 years and Apple has been testing how people put a ring on and take it off for the past 13 years to maximize the user experience, it will come in a 6x4 box to enhance the unboxing experience. They will have no idea what they actually hope people will use the ring for but hope that early adopters will help them find that out. It will cost $4,595.00. It has the capability of running all iOS and iPad apps though Netflix and YouTube will not supported it while Disney has already prepped their entire catalogue to be viewed on the ring. Tim Cook will announce it using the word “amazing” 47 times in the unveiling. Apple stock will go up 3.7% on the day. There will be weeks of articles on AppleInsider speculating on the ring return rate.

As an Apple shareholder, I would demand that any third party App Store, pay upfront their fair share to Apple for all R&D, marketing, IP, transportation, security and other associated yearly expenses and costs that Apple bears in making and maintaining its various devices and associated software products. 

The walled garden is going away. The iPhone and iPad will move more and more to the Mac model. You are going to have to start learning to deal with it and decide how you want to move forward with your investment. Apple is going to have to start learning to deal with it too. Then have become too dependent on the iPhone and a watch, self driving car, weather app, and VR are not going to move the company forward like the iPhone did. Cook has done a great job generating iterative changes to make money but under his leadership Apple has missed on search, cloud, AI etc. In comparison MS moved into other areas after they lost the phone wars and somehow managed to closed on Friday as the world’s most valuable company, doing it without a phone type device or a map app. 

Today, it’s Apple. Tomorrow, it’s America. The fewer Nordic socialist types on American soil, the better. 

P.S. MS don’t produce jack in consumer electronics. If you ain’t no boring corporate type, you’ll hardly ever buy anything from them. 

Snowflakes galore on the crazy side of life!
