If android say they are better than apple why the suits then?? Or they thought apple was on a picture zoom contest with them. They brought rubbish things like tear drop and apple went for notch and they still turned around and followed apple. They made 4sims apple made esim. See if you know the genius behind iPhone u will fear apple. The only reason anyone doesn’t own an iPhone is coz they can’t afford it.

i totally disagree with your last statement.

Kind of news the patient investors like.

Wait for price to drop about > 10% value of price due to news that doesn't affect company's operational prowess, then make entry.

na dem get am

teewhydope:

It's not nonsense. basic things users have access to on other operating systems are restricted by apple (nfc emulation, access to full storage, sideloading etc) due to greed. You might not understand these things as a common user but these things are important in the tech, iphone shouldn't be about pictures alone. Apple are greedy abeg!

A waste of time and money.

Companies like Apple, Amazon, Google and Meta are immune to pesky things like lawsuits. Even from an entity as powerful as the US government.

First of all, they have an army of HIGHLY COMPETENT attorneys who live for legal warfare. They are paid FAT cheques to take the law and flog lawmakers with it.

Apart from their legal teams, Apple has a HORDE of customers whose devotion to them can be likened to that of religious extremist.

People sleep OUTSIDE in American weather just for a chance to get Apple's latest gadgets.

Plus, the people who have shares in Apple are movers and shakers of the US economy. They are not to be bleeped with.

For instance, companies like Berkshire Hathaway owns APPLE shares worth about $161B. For context, all the dollars in the Nigerian Foreign Reserves is just $34B. Despite the INSANE padding, Nigeria National Budget is about $19.6B.

BH has $161B in Apple.
BH has an ENORMOUS power in the US stock market.
And it's not even the only one.

This entire lawsuit is a joke.

The day I realized that some companies are bigger than the US company is the day I watched Mark Zuckerberg's testimony before the US Congress.

Mark REFUSED to answer any question straight.

If they ask "What is A?", Mark will reply with "I think Jerry from Tom and Jerry is gay".

All attempts to force him to give a straight answer were met with a variation of "go fuuuck yourself".

Now consider the fact that Apple is 200% BIGGER than Meta and you'll begin to understand why this lawsuits is just bored politicians looking for some short-lived excitement.

You are contradicting yourself. If these companies have lots of expert lawyers, don't you think Mark Zuckerberg and every of these CEOs are prepped on what to say, how to answer questions and what not to say, anytime they appear before the US Congress?

If you are a CEO of a multi billion dollar company like Meta, Google, Twitter, Amazon, etc, you don't attend a US Congress meeting without first being prepped by your lawyers. If you do, those Congress men will force you to say things to implicate you and your company because they also have lawyers that prep them and tell them what to ask these CEOs.

Even in Nigeria, if you have a criminal case and you are arrested and the police is investigating, your lawyer will have to guide you on how to answer the police questions. If not, you fit go use your mouth put yourself for trouble.

Just watched on CNN about two minutes ago. And was like what is the meaning of this nonesense suit.

Wife was even surprised and asking why should Apple be sued for just doing business like all other Capitalists do

Rubbish!

P.S. I am not a Fan of Apple. However,I believe the court will throw out this case. You can claim monopoly but don't I have the right to do whatever the hell I want with my product?

I can even decide it is only Apple products that can call or chat with each other so why the tears.

It is the long game the American government is playing.

They just want to turn “Apple’s iphone” into “Our iphone”. Making it a community baby so to speak.

With China nurturing Huawei, there is not way America would do any to hurt iphone.

It is just a play to break to break its boundaries and give the American government more access.

achinu:
Having only iOS and Android as the only two major dominant smartphone OS has actually hurt innovation and consumers suffer!
We should never have ended up with a 2 horse OS race. Go read up on palm OS and Symbian OS, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry etc. I'm not in anyway blaming Apple or Google for their dominance, just stating facts based on my industry experience and what I witnessed first hand. In the USA, the mobile phone carriers actually contributed to dominance of both Apple & Android OS by heavily subsiding the price of the devices in exchange for a service contract with the consumers.
When there's isn't any competition, innovation suffers and companies can charge absurd prices for little.

Symbian is ahead of its time, blackberry tried it's best but consumers stop buying them, palm sold it self to tv makers, windows phone died with real nokia. Android is the only OS that stick along All these years with Google rearing. if wasn't apple is only for the richest even android will not survive.

Dude do some reading abeg wetin be this. Mark refused to answer questions straight means he is bigger than the government? This must br your first time watching a congressional hearing.

The entire lawsuit is a joke but you didn't state 1 single reason how any of the charges apple is facing are a joke? Again shows how little you know about the laws in the US.

You think army of lawyers can save you when you are caught with your hand in the cookie jar in the US? Dey play

If the US government can effectively prove apple violated anti trust laws 1s in court otilo oh.

You're very right.

You know some don't follow these events so they don't know.

The stiffness of apple in the EU is reducing.

They think foreign legislators and judiciaries are like the Nigerian ones.

Yes you have a right to do business but there are rules you must follow...monopoly never favours any sector.

Watching these lawmakers makes you understand the true meaning of legislation.

They actually fight for the people and make laws that make life better not only for themselves because there's accountability.

the lock-in approach apple is using is their monopolistic strategy that keeps them richer and richer...iOS is neither flexible for developers and users.they lock their users in the ecosystems to the extent that interoperability of iOS devices and other ecosystem devices is zero.

It doesn't work like that. Because you have the product doesn't mean you can do whatever you like with it because your product does not exist in isolation. It impacts several other things especially if you are that big.

If people did whatever they wanted, maybe apple wouldn't have existed in the first place. Maybe IBM would have strangled them in the early days.

The US antitrust law is very instrumental in ensuring big brands don't highjack the free market system which is.

Sir, If only you were a student of history and you understand the fabrics of what makes the US a thriving capitalist economy.
It was a similar lawsuit in the 1990s against Microsoft that broke their hegemony on the market, paving the way for the likes of Apple inc to spring up and thrive.
The Shernan antitrust act was passed for a reason. Americans still have the right to the First Amendment but behind what you see and know on the surface market is a really dark and manipulative world in Silicon Valley and Wallstreet.

False
Firstly, even ordinary citizens have gone to congress and made a fool out of them, just don't ignore a subpoena or perjury yourself while answering their questions.
Secondly, even their dedicated customers are happy with some of the cases that are brought up against Apple cos it brings flexibility to the phone that is loved but hated for it's strict environment
Finally, apple have lost cases.

Apple have lost a lot of patent cases, even the ones brought by small companies and some apple watch are currently banned in the use by the US International Trade Commission

They were compelled by the EU to adopt type-c charging port, they contested it and lost
Just this month, I received an update notification that said something about third party app store and I had to go and check online and I found out they also lost their contention against EU's stand that they should allow third-party app stores.
And now all phone manufacturers big or small are being told that they will have to go back to using easily removable batteries on their gadgets if they want to continue selling in the EU.
No matter how big a company is, any govt can humble them if it decides to but no govt will want to cripple a company that has much of it's operation within the country and employ large number of people and companies understand this so most times they will break the law to make huge profits, they will be taken to court by the govt or different entities and they can decide to settle out of court or go on with the Trial and even when they lose they will gladly pay the stipulated fine cos the profit they made from breaking the law far exceeds the fine and money they spent in court
