Your "hope" is tactic admission that there is no alternative and admission that Apple is willing to limit choice on their platform. "But Android" doesn't challenge the idea... it simply proves you can't defend Apple.

"I Buy apple" and others buy Apple while still wanting choice within that ecosystem of hardware. Why don't YOU get that through YOUR thick skull? You aren't the only customer and other people deserve the choice - which is why regulations exist to break up monopolies.

Thanks for, basically, admitting that I'm right and that the Don is willing to break kneecaps to keep control of their fiefdom.

It's not a tacit admission. I will admit it openly. Apple has a close system with full control over it, and that's just the way I like it.

You think that it's a bad thing. I don't. There's nothing to hide on my part, I'm completely honest about it.

> which is why regulations exist to break up monopolies

Which Apple is not.

God, you're dumb, and you don't even know it.


You are free to chose other brands.


and people were free to choose other operating systems when MS was found to be abusing their "monopoly".

Just because there are some other options... doesn't negate the fact that Apple is using monopolistic and anti-competitive tactics to limit consumer choice and business options.

There's zero reason why Epic should be force to pay Apple a 30% cut of all income when Epic has the resources and talent to do so.

Zero reason... other than mafia tactics.


Nope, PC market share, which Apple doesn't have.
