So, Apple protects consumers from people who want to manipulate them into handing over their hard-earned money for things they neither need nor want, and Instagram (and others) calls that "having an immense amount of power." Huh? How anti-consumer, right?!

How does that even pass the sniff test of rationality? Must be the 'greed' filter through which they view life.

F*ck them, and hope their stupid platforms burn to the ground.

Nanaimo?! Canadian friend of mine introduced me to a lovely bar dessert couple of years ago, delicious! Total aside, apologies for straying from topic, but couldn't help myself. :-)

Hint: customers don’t like greedy companies.

Customers like good products and Apple seems to be meeting those demands, pretty much better than all other companies, so they either disagree with you or they don't care as much as you think.

Hint: other mobile companies accomplish this as well without being greedy.

And make no money in the process, great recipe for success.

Perhaps you should stop projecting your own issues onto Apple, its customers and its success, you're really not doing your own credibility here any favours by commenting on business success factors that are refuted so easily by reality. Pricing, product strategy and customer satisfaction aren't the armchair CEO's forte.

They will care when they loose a big healthy customer base.

Apple did extremely well before this money grab. This will backfire. How many will return?

"Apple doom and gloom," one of the internet troll's favourite epithets to hurl. You definitely have a bright future ahead of you in the financial analyst industry, given how astute you seem to be with sales and customer predictions.

I just listen to the ground. My troll tip for you is that there is a Lot less iPhone sales this quarter.

You think that proves something? Other than progressing the silly narrative of yours that you are spreading here like shit on shingles, your "inside information" means nothing that you think it means.
