    Does Apple have legal rights to stop anybody from using non Apple operating system on their new M chips?
    Apple doesn't stop anyone from installing another OS, so that question doesn’t even make sense!
    Sorry it does not make sense to you.  But given that Apple has to protect it’s property and patents, trademarks,  I thought of this. 
    I think it is quite obvious why it doesn’t make sense. By stating that Apple is not stoping anyone from doing it, there is no legal question to be asked about doing it.
    The mere ability of running different software does not imply that it is using Apple’s intelectual property. You can only analyse that hypothetical in a case by case basis, which means that we cannot assume to be legally impossible.

    No, you have the right to do whatever you want on your own hardware after you buy it. 
    Apple have the right to make it difficult though, they're under no obligation to help you out.  If they were able to make it impossible without compromising the product I'm sure they would.
    They had the ability to do it and clearly chose not to do so. They could have locked the booting sequence to only accept Apple signed systems and yet they allow people to select unsigned systems!

  • Apple kept iMessage off Android to lock users in to iOS

    So a former employee claims Apple was trying to keep a competitive advantage? That’s shocking. Not.

    I don’t understand why Epic thinks Apple had any obligation to do anything differently. 
    As Apple (and others) are put under the digital age microscope, it is these scenarios that take on more significance.

    Where is the line between 'competitive advantage' and 'anti-competitive advantage'.
    ? 

    Over the coming months and years we will surely find out and I wouldn't be at all surprised if platform providers are forced to provide a 'key' to their 'locks'. 

    Perhaps not necessarily in the form of forced cross platform use but in the form of a way to export everything in a way that can be imported into alternative systems. 




    I wonder if all Android variations will be able to guarantee exporting to the iPhone!!! If not, why should Apple (the minority platform) be obliged?

    Is this suppose to show any thing??? I mean, isn’t Apple supposed to build advantages for its own platform, to make its users come back?
    iMessage being exclusive doesn’t even prevent people to message across platforms, nor does it prevent people to export old messages.
