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. 

It doesn’t matter if you love Apple and hate Masimo or their business practices. It will all come down to what the law says. So far Apple has lost on every step here but they have gotten to a place where they can argue their case in a Federal court. You can play outraged armchair patent lawyer or wait for the case to be heard and judged on the merits as it relates to the law. Till then it is all empty speculation. 

If you are a time is money person then you are not buying a laptop. You are probably buying a high PC desktop system with NVDA graphics cards that give top performance in maya, premiere pro, photoshop etc. 

Seems some think it threatening enough to bash it.  I find it fascinating and love that a company is exploring new ideas. It is a lot more functional than strapping a great big mask on your face as Meta and Apple are convinced we all want to. Got my Apple Watch on v7 and don’t find it all that great so I will reserve judgement on apples AR and on this and see what v8 or 9 has to offer. 

I for one wish governments would do more to contain tech, not less. The EU is forcing to open the App Store is a big win that will over time allow users to load what they want from any source they want. I don't need the tech company to baby me. Cracking down in Google, FB and X privacy and fake news is also needed. If 158 phones are stolen a day in London then absolutely, the government should be involved to find better ways to cut down on theft and recovery. This reads like more of a biased opinion piece, not much in the way of reporting the facts. This writer has gotten it wrong in several stories now (like the one where the iPhone 15 heating problem was not a problem at all till Apple acknowledged it!)
