administration.
US Dept of Justice says:
- Disrupting "super apps" that encompass many different programs and could degrade "iOS stickiness" and make it easier for iPhone users to switch to competing devices
- Blocking cloud-streaming apps for things like video games that would lower the need for superior hardware
- Suppressing the quality of messaging between the iPhone platform and competing mobile platforms like Android
- Limiting the functionality of third-party smartwatches with its iPhones and making it harder for Apple Watch users to switch from the iPhone due to compatibility issues
- Blocking third-party developers from creating competing digital wallets with tap-to-pay functionality for the iPhone
Apple resonds:
At Apple, we innovate every day to make technology people love—designing products that work seamlessly together, protect people's privacy and security, and create a magical experience for our users. This lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart in fiercely competitive markets. If successful, it would hinder our ability to create the kind of technology people expect from Apple—where hardware, software, and services intersect. It would also set a dangerous precedent, empowering government to take a heavy hand in designing people's technology. We believe this lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law, and we will vigorously defend against it.
Many Apple fanboys/supporters from different forums/social media says Biden admin is manipulating stock prices, that they have no idea what anti trust laws are, or stupid for trying to take down one of US' biggest tech company, and that Biden has to go.

Idk why,people buy apple and think they aren't buying into an ecosystem that is locked down tight and designed to keep you stuck in it.
It's just what apple is. Samsung isn't much different, it's just more in the nature of android to be more accessible and open.
I have some of both products and I like them all.
Anytime I hear something non apple works with apple, I'm just pleasantly surprised. I never expect it to generally.Sometimes I park in handicap spaces, while handicap people make handicap faces

Justice department has a point to be honest. Apple is notorious for how anti competitive their practices are

This
EU already forced them to get rid of the lightning connector.
My gf still uses an apple phone with lightning and it's so Fkn annoying seeing those cables in our little charging areas when everything else in our home charges via USB c, including our ipads.
Apple has more than enough budget to push the limits of anti consumer practices then pay off their slap on the wristSometimes I park in handicap spaces, while handicap people make handicap faces

DOJ and other "justice" departments are letting criminals go free and focusing their attention on going after anyone they can for any violations of their rules even if those enforcements cause more problems than the actual violations.
You make rules to prevent problems and make things go smoother. You enforce those rules to keep it that way. However, when your rules cause problems and enforcement causes more problems, it's counterproductive.

this.
i dove into the apple ecosystem when blackberry went under.
i needed a phone for work and android was having issues with the work apps i needed.
when i need a new phone it's easy AF to move to it.
that's my only reason for having apple.
my fitbit is a little janky on it but i get by well enough.
one thing i've noticed about my apple devices vs android devices is my apple devices will get abandoned before they slow down to being annoying to use.
my android devices seem to need a complete a factory reset every 2 or 3 yrs and even then just don't perform like they used to.
it's like every update pushed out just makes them slower and slower until you are forced to root them and purge bloatware they force you to have on them or find a custom image with the bloatware removed.
however it is nice being able to sideload apps on the android tabs that i can't get on my iphone or ipad.

That is why I sell puts on it lol AAPL is not going anywhere and it will remain in the top 5 U.S. companies for the foreseeable future.
I bet APPL gets bought up soon and any further downside will be minimal.
That.
I'm buying calls on APPL pretty soon lol.I: Self, Lord and Master.

apple is also notorious for telling the justice department to pound sand when they want tools to break into peoples phones.
fuk, they wanted apple to create a new OS for phones just so only they could bypass the lock screen and apple LOL'd hard at them.
not an apple fan boy, but i bet this has something to do with it also.

Apple fanboys are a special breed. They cry about pollution and social issues yet they keep buying products from a company that:
Used products created by slave labor in China within recent history
Used production in China, a country that does not have pollution standards.
Ships products halfway around the world creating a tremendous amount of fossil fuels.
Then when the soy infused lefties are done with their products (after a year because they need the newest thing), they discard it. It then gets put on a ship and sent to Ghana (using even more fossil fuel) where everything leeches into the ground or they burn all the old electronics further committing crimes against the planet.
But they get to go on social media and tell everyone how much they care about slave labor and a clean world. Pathetic.Sweet dreams, Bunny crew - https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=166681061&highlight=sweet+dreams+bunny
