‘Even stronger’ than imagined: DOJ’s sweeping Apple lawsuit draws expert praise
An uphill battle lies ahead, but the Justice Department has opened with a strong, strategically sound attack.

“The one that really jumped out at me was this idea that parents don’t want to get their kids Android phones if they have Apple phones" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i'm sorry, but who came up with that, google? i can't even imagine parents with apples buying androids for their kids, nor vice versa. how silly.
i do agree that texting and other basic phone functions should of course be interoperable.
Yeah, I wouldn't get my kid something I am not personally well versed in. My parents learned that the hard way by failing to stay ahead of me in knowing how to use Windows, back when we had 98, and 2000, and Vista, etc. I'm grounded, you're locking the computer? Safe mode with networking it is, I'll print my pornographic images after they download in 10 minutes.
My mom just laughs anytime my kids misbehave. I guess I have it coming.
There are a lot more cheap Android options. I wouldn’t want to get a kid a pricey iPhone for their first smartphone.
My kids get my hand me downs.
Cheapest iPhone is $430.
Being tied into FindMy is probably worth that, especially for parents.
You can get a new android under $200. And google has their own feature to locate their phones.
Ok. Which is a current iPhone owner more likely to buy.
- The thing that ties into their current services and is a device which they are familiar with to help their kid when questions arise.
- Save ~$200 to deal with another service and have to do more work to support the device when questions arise.
The juice isn't worth the squeeze before we even get into how many years of updates that $200 phone is gonna get vs the cheapest iPhone.
Must be nice to live on a world where $250 on something your kid will likely break is no big deal. And with Apple’s approach to repairability and how hard kids are on things, that iPhone isn’t lasting any longer than an Android. (Not that other devices do great with repairability either.)
And if your kid needs that much help with their phone, they are not ready for it. If you need to track your kid, an AirTag is an even cheaper option.
Stop sucking Apple’s cock. You sound like Tim Cook, and I’d like to beat him over the head for being such a greedy asshole. And I am writing this on my iPhone, so don’t accuse me of Google fandom. People can make their own choices for their own family.
U mad bro?
Maybe it's the fact that you know I'm right that most people choose #1.
I despise any corporate apologists and fanboys. The fact that people complain about interoperability issues tells you many reject your idea.
The way Apple is going, my next phone will probably be a FairPhone that operates Android.
Google is way better than Apple for sure.
Sadly Fairphone isn't that fair as it isn't sold in the countries it sources its materials and labor from. Heck of a marketing trick if you ask me.
I made a perfectly logical argument for why people tend to stay within the same ecosystem...
I would expect the same if the situation were reversed and an Android owner was buying a phone for their kid and the iPhone was a little cheaper.
It has nothing to do with being an apologist or a fan of Apple. Your blind rage is hurting your reasoning capacity.
Many people do choose #1.
Many people are also fucking dumb.
Cheapest iPhone is $430.
A ruggered Android phone cost about 200 € and there are also under 100 € android phones.
As a first phone for a kid is more than enough, given how it will be treated
