Apple is opening itself for an antitrust case by removing competition from the store.

Can't understand why there are a lot of people dumping on this excellent observation.

There's no accounting for wishful thinking. Regardless of what the anti-antitrusters believe, this will cause a great deal of short-term problems for Apple, especially with the Congressional anti-trust on big tech expected soon. Ultimately it may resolve in Apple's favor -- or not -- but to pretend that this will not cause problems is silly.

I don't see how Apple not selling any products other than Apple ones in its stores is a problem...
The antitrust case is more of an App store one, Apple is not dominant in any of its hardware markets.

I assume we are talking about the small Sonos/Bose speakers?
Was Apple selling the Sonos Arc bars at its stores?

The best shows I watch on Netflix are EU and latin America.  The is also similar rules in Canada,  Netflix had to spend 500 millions by 2020 and they already achieved it.  Glad to see more international content.

I dont mind little Apple content if its free.  Any providers included in a paid service will be a US only thing anyway and I am in Canada.  Hopefully Apple content will launch in other countries.

The price of Apple high end phone needs to come down to around $700.  It’s just too expensive for what it is. I am not upgrading any of my Apple devices because of price, 2015 ipads, 2012 imacs,  2014 MBP,  iphone 6. Holding on until it breaks.

Latest Apple purchased:  Apple TV 4k because I wanted 4k and iphone X because my 6 plus died is sea water. I am considering buying an Apple watch if they continu to add medical features on it.
