Apple’s monopoly lawsuit could change the iPhone experience for fans

When Apple launched its first Mac computer in 1984, with its iconic Mac smiley-face “hello” greeting, it wanted to differentiate itself in the fledgling PC market. The Mac was approachable with its friendly, innovative design – Apple’s way of setting the Mac apart in the confusing PC landscape.
That consumer-friendly mantra still exists today, with Apple carefully curating an easy-breezy yet controlled user experience across its products, including the billions of iPhones used around the world.
But the Biden administration believes Apple took that too far. Last week, the Department of Justice sued Apple for illegally monopolizing the smartphone market.
?? Here’s a closer look at what this may eventually mean for iPhone users.

7 个月The lawsuit might change how we use iPhones and affect the whole smartphone market. It's mainly about how apps are shared and accessed on iPhones. If this changes, it could make developers compete more, leading to new and better apps for users. Also, prices and the services available could be different. Tech fans like us are excited to see how things will evolve. #iPhoneExperience #AppDistribution #TechInnovation

7 个月I figured out that apple products are not secure ?? If someone steals your device, they can turn off the find me(tracking/GPS). After that they can use again with a different provider ??. I just spoke with a black lady, that work on LAX, and she told me, that her iphone 13, she got for $400,00. It seems that have a Black Market, between Apple and the iPhone mafia. Something must be done to stop this everyday crime. ??
