I donāt care what the outcome of this lawsuit is, but DOJ literally blamed apple for amazon fireās failure in 2014. š
Lol absurd. Might as well blame apple for fb phone attempt too. Maybe they failed cause their products were garbage
We probably killed FB Portal too lmao Nah I had someone from Google at a car event go at me a little bit about he blue bubbles thing a few years ago. Said his kids were getting bullied. I donāt think he appreciated me asking him to list all the attempts by Google to make a messaging platform/app. But in all seriousness iMessage didnāt become desirable because of anti trust. Like, was Google going to integrate iMessage into the default messenger on android circa 2013-18, pre RCS? Fuck no, come on. It was better than SMS which was what existed at the time. And then were made to look like assholes for wanting to keep using our system that customers like- and that pioneered the mass adoption of many enhancements that have only now finally made their way to RCS. Are we perfect? No way, and probably are guilty of anti competitive actions especially on the App Store. But many of these charges are dumb. And Thereās no winning.
Wtf? It's a well-known fact that Apple decided not to launch iMessage on Android because doing so would reduce the incentive for users in the US to switch to iPhones. And if you took your head out of Steve Jobs decayed asshole, you may notice that people on Android don't use sms. They use WhatsApp or Telegram or a bunch of other cross platform apps that are far superior to iMessages. iMessage is just an American thing that never got traction elsewhere in the world
@Amazon - If people arenāt using SMS then whatās the basis for anti-trust?
Are companies not allowed to have successful products anymore? Is this the Democrats' plan for their socialist utopia?
Lmao pretty sure that failure is strictly on us
