On March 21st, the US Department of Justice sued Apple for antitrust violations. Claiming that Apple has an illegal monopoly on the smartphone market with iPhone. So what exactly is Apple doing wrong? Well, the DOJ has provided five reasons. First, is preventing “super apps” from ever existing on iPhone.
I've received quite a few emails asking how I make my videos, if you're interested in learning about it in a detailed course let me know here: greg-s-site-7f5d.thinkific.com/
1st?
Yo can you make a video on why competition in the Apple ecosystem actually benefits consumers? I get a lot of angry replies from people who don’t understand this and treat any choices in the ecosystem as a bad thing lol. Love your videos 👍
I recently received a survey email from Greg about this. There is however no information on when this course is apparently going to start. I love Greg's videos, I respect him enormously as an Apple fan and it's an understatement to say that I take inspiration from his videos on my KZhead channel. 👍 I began using Final Cut Pro around 2020 and have improved massively as a result, despite software limitations.
@@TNTkeynine What

There was a time when it was only Microsoft. Now it's all companies but Microsoft. Time has changed a lot.
To be fair, Microsoft was sued by the FTC 2 years ago when they acquired Activision Blizzard (even though that lawsuit didn’t succeed)
actually it's still Microsoft everywhere, that is why Microsoft still has the highest Market Cap.
Microsoft only got sued once they already became a monopoly. At that point it was too late. The world was too reliant on Windows. Apple outsells Android in America but even still it’s only 60:40. However, that will definitely change. 87% of teens have an iPhone, and Apple purposely makes it hard to switch, meaning in 10-15 years time they definitely will have an even bigger monopoly. It’s good that something’s being done about it now. Even if you’re an Apple fan, them being forced to adopt more open standards and thus facing more competition makes thing better for everyone as it forces them to do even better to earn your sale rather than relying on trapping you in a walled garden you can’t leave. Side note, seems everyone wants iMessage to be fixed, I feel like I’m the only one who cares more about Quick Share and AirDrop being compatible with each other lmao
Sort of... The things MS is doing with edge nowadays is way worse than IE back in the day.
@@IceBlueLugia Genuinely, it’d be really nice to have Airdrop & Quick share be compatible with other. I’m sick of having to send people Google Drive links just to share small files with them

I switched to Apple because Samsung was making their phones more and more like iPhones (headphone jack removal was the last straw), but without the security or easy connectivity to my Mac and iPad. No one forced me to switch.
Only in America U need to use apple Coz of that community Otherwise Nevermind
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bruh who do you think is the reason for poor connectivity with mac & ipad?? Thats apple literally forcing you to switch😅
Base on ur comment , I think U.S government will be get another reason to sue Apple and that is “ Making difficulty to connect android and Macs” . Nowadays Apple has getting loss their security. If we googling, we can saw the news about scamming issues on iPhone , I saw about it last 5days ago. And one year ago I think ,there has a thief who changing the iPhone password with the permission of iPhone owners. But already fixed with software updates
You just explained how Apple forced you to switch.
Double standards on the DOJ's part given most of the complaints they have against Apple are already being changed. Also ironic that they're not suing Google, Samsung, etc. when some of the complaints they made in this lawsuit can also apply to Android manufacturers as well.
And they are suing for the wrong reasons
Apple is already making changes because of laws and pressure from the EU. They aren't making these changes out of the goodness of their heart lol. Also, Apple has over 60% of the total US phone market. So, this is the other reason they are being singled out.
@@AustinTechAuthority Don't people choose for themself which phone they want? I mean if i want an iphone i can get an iphone, if i want a samsung i can get a samsung. I dont understand why they are doing this while people literally choose for themself with the brain they have.
@@defaultplane You're right but sometimes these things take that choice away from the people, for example if you own an apple watch you cant have anything other than the iPhone since you cant use all the features of the watch, you might like the S24 but all your friends might have an iPhone so you don't want to be the only one with the green texts.

I switched from android because of problems. I was in their ecosystem and it was a mess. I switched to apple with iPhone first, then Apple Watch, next was another iPhone (for a family member), then an apple computer. The Apple ecosystem is fantastic for me. Everything works with no wasted time ( like with Microsoft and android).
Microsoft Windows and open source Android were never made to perfectly work with each other. These are separate things
Throw that money away
Oddly enough after years on Android I switched back to Apple for these reason as all of them effect security. Funny thing is that most IT Security professionals I know have moved to Apple for the similar reasons. I do think they can make iMessage more compatible but otherwise no one is forcing anyone to buy Apple, people buy them because they don't want to deal with all the other headaches.
When Microsoft and Android had majority share over the market the US gov had no problem with them monopolizing the industry... but when it's Apple all of a sudden they care enough to sue... meanwhile there are over 50,000 homeless people in LA alone- where is the US gov when it comes to actually helping the people rather than them spending all our taxpayer dollars on a frivolous lawsuit??? Ridiculous!!!
They were not eliminating competition from the market by the locking their massive OS down .Monopoly is not a problem but eliminating competition .And also it does not affect you at all and i would be happy to understand how it affects you. And also microsoft did got sued in the 90s for that , and google has also sued google in recent time.
Look up "whataboutism". This is not how you make a valid argument. There exist homeless people?? I guess we shouldn't regulate big companies to benefit consumers then!

lol the US “you have money now, and we want more of your money, and please, change the key parts of your companies philosophy to be like every other tech company, so there in the future will be no differences between you.”
It's really sad how Apple sales are pretty much influenced by peer pressure, that's why majority of their sales are teens and young adults in the US. I immediately knew how bad it was when I was in high school. I remember a girl dropped her android phone and the phone split, with battery popping out. A group of freshman students were walking by when it happened, and I remember one of them looking down at the girl scrambling to pick up the pieces of her phone, and he yells, "F*cking android!" I felt so bad for the poor girl. Coming from a low income household, an Apple product was just something we never could afford, so I heavily sympathized for the girl. You can probably guess how pissed I was at those kids.
It’s not just about the closed ecosystem. It’s not even about competing in the same markets as others. It’s about Apple putting their feet on both sides of the line-are they competing with Spotify? Netflix? Epic? Or are they managing user access to said services? You can’t just set yourself up as a moderator of the user’s online interactions-creating an incredibly robust system of aggregation and limits, creating a multi-billion-dollar global market-and then jump in and compete against the other companies with a massive unfair advantage they can never get around. I’m surprised these lawsuits didn’t come sooner.

The Pixel watch is exclusive to Android, not to Pixel phones. Pretty big difference there. And, I'm willing to bet that the only reason it doesn't work on the iPhone is the exact same reason Samsung eventually dropped iOS support on their watches, Apple's closed ecosystem meant that they just couldn't make the experience universal.

Damn
Honestly the DOJ v Apple Inc. has no sense at all, since Apple is promoting their own products and exosystem, which is fair. The problem is that Google is the real comoany having a monopoly over the phone business as every phone maker depends on Android OS and by forcing Apple to accept Google’s demands, it only makes Android even more powerful, and lets not even mention Google using the philosophy “Quantity over Quality” ehile Apple is indeed working for the best of customers in terms of security and service. In simple words, the DoJ wants to lower the standard of Apple by forcing them to adopt measures that will affect Apple and will give more power to Google. Is as simple as that.
Bro this argument makes no sense RCS is close to what Apple is using and Apple Arcade doesn't even compare to other companies. Yes some of the point they made are valid, nobody outside Asia uses or wants super apps even on android and also most people buy smart watches matching the company as well as most WearOS devices having a similarly bad/limited experience on IOS as well (which I think a good portion is Google's doing). But to act like Apple's walled garden is done all the time for the highest quality instead of complete control is realms that do not need that level of control is foolish, you might as well say that having lightning is better than USB C and all iPads and iPhones need to switch back instead of moving to something more expansive and allows for more interoperability and capability between users of all devices.
True. Apple must've done something the government doesn't like and this is just a facade imo. Tim probably refused to unlock a phone of some politician's cheating wife haha.
Android is open source. Unless Google takes down the project anyone can use it for free without licensing fees or any connection to google at all. The lawsuit, if won, would make smartphones a better experience for android and apple users. What is the downside here, apple's stock price goes down? Apple is a trillion dollar corporation, not your friend.

I can understand three of them, but numbers 3 and 4 are ridiculous. iMessage is proprietary. Of course it's going to work better with iPhones than Android Phones (even though both are compatible), and the same goes for disabled apps on Android for Apple Watch. Besides, Android isn't clean from similar proprietary tech. The only reason they get away with it is because Google puts the OS on different smartphones and not just their own.
The problem is that they artificially do it and one of the reason is using social pressure to make teenagers associate "bad quality" with Android phones. The problem with Apple Watch is not really about how well it works in Android Phones, but how bad they make any other Smart Watch in iOS (by not allowing the same internal functions as they do with Apple Watch, the same kind of strategy that Microsoft made 20+ years ago with Internet Explorer and was used by DOJ to break Microsoft monopoly).

You can sideload apps. But you have to redownload every week.
Huh? Apple? What is that? Never heard tech company named like that 🙃
To be honest, Apple's ecosystem's a bit of a necessary evil, though "evil" is a bit of a stretch.
When I was on Android I had zero interest in Apple ecosystem, and now that I'm on Apple I have zero interest in Android ecosystem. All this talking about mixed ecosystems is quite silly frankly. People who don't like Apple don't buy Apple stuff, as simple as this. If I was going to really love an android watch and decide to buy it, I won't pair it with an iPhone, I'd chose a phone that gives me the best experience, and that's an Android phone obviously.
Yet again politicians that have nothing to do with tech, pretend that they understand how it works so they dictate the rhythm. Why the fuck would I want to use a Samsung Galaxy Watch with my iPhone, or an apple watch with a Samsung??? Like I’m sorry but every company is allowed to create their own ecosystems that are intended to work with their products. As an iOS user myself it doesn’t bother me that I use apple wallet to pay, or have an apple watch that only works with my phone. Most android users and even ex-android users like me switched for this exact reason, to use apple products and services

Users buy Apple products for the closed ecosystem. There's a product design language, marketing, consistency, etc... Forcing Apple to make all of these changes will not impact buying decisions of those already invested in and who prefer Apple products, however it may open the platform enough to entice a few Android users to make the switch knowing they won't be so locked in....

I don't understand why it's bad that Apple is unique and also a closed system... It is good because your devices are much safer from outside viruses than others. The other problem is that they're not going to make Android or other devices better, they're going to make Apple worse. I don't think that's essential. There's also talk of Apple pushing out other manufacturers, but please, Apple has been working on their whole system for years, decades to be able to do that. I also thought forcing Apple to switch from Lightning connector was a bit unnecessary, obviously it's easier to use USB-C, but what's wrong with wanting to be special?
How is it going to make Apple worse? The ecosystem is good, but it's locked to Apple devices. The lawsuit is to ALLOW you to go beyond Apple while staying in the ecosystem. This does not compromise security whatsoever if you don't change your habit (e.g. if you don't install WeChat, nothing changes for you.). As for the connector, Apple wasn't being "special," it was being proprietary and outdated. It relied on the USB 2.0 spec from the year 2000, and there was absolutely no reason for them to not update the connector since they first used it. Above that, you simply just couldn't reuse the connector anywhere else, or reuse the industry standard USB-C connector on the iPhone. It created a lot of e-waste, so the EU forced Apple to change it. As someone who's on Android, the point about SMS/MMS would hugely benefit me and every iPhone user I communicate with. There's no downside to using RCS with non-iMessage devices, since I could now text you guys normal quality photos and videos and vice versa.
I hope that helps you understand the perspective a little more, but I see your interpretation of it. :)
@@DeerJerky Yeah, it's true, if I don't change my habits it's not really going to change for me, you get the point. I think they could have got a lot more out of the Lightning port if they had paid a bit more attention to it, but USB-C isn't much better, it's still slow and has issues, but that's mostly Apple's fault. "It created a lot of e-waste" which is so shitty (in my opinion), lots of things create a lot more e-waste and they don't really care about that, so okay I understand why it's better to have usb-c, but then don't just support it by saying there's a lot of e-waste. The SMS/MMS changes are really needed because it's so shitty to talk to people using Android and it's not fair. I guess it was just a bit of a stupid moment from me, because if I don't change the way I use it, it's not really going to change for me. I think there are a lot of problems with Apple, but it's still the best for me, but that's why I understand people using Android. Thank you for not being angry with me, just explaining things from your perspective. (This is the way it should work, everyone gives their point of view and everyone listens to each other.)
@@marton8596 Hey man no worries, you were just expressing your concerns and I didn't see it as lashing out or being stupid! I kinda also feel like I went a bit dry on my reply, my apologies. I definitely agree with the need to have civil conversations more often haha, and I really appreciate you sharing that. I will say that the e-waste point definitely could've been a lot worse, the ruling was already a little silly in the way that it ironically made all existing lightning cables e-waste. I do agree with you there. Now that I think about it, we really rely on wireless a lot more than wired, so there's not much point in having fast USB speeds when we have Nearby Share/AirDrop and WiFi, it'd explain why nobody really focuses on having the fastest wired connection speed. I'm honestly just excited to finally have cross platform RCS & not care which phone I have, since for some reason I always feel like I ruin group chats just by being in them w/o iMessage :/ All in all, I really like iPhones, Pixels, Samsung S-series, etc. I honestly think the "Apple v android" is pointless because they both are really cool. Apple is seamless and has the ecosystem, while android phones generally have their own specialties (e.g. Pixels with machine learning tools like audio and magic eraser). Who cares what phone somebody prefers?

Wow, the concept of a “monopoly” sure is getting twisted.
Yeah like wtf. I have lived 24 years without ever using a single Apple product. I recently switched to an iPhone because Android was a mess and the good Android phones are so expensive I might as well just buy an iPhone and enjoy the ecosystem and the long dated updates. There's no monopoly at all.
It is anti-trust and anti-competetive practices that are being discussed in the lawsuit. The same laws used by the DOJ to sue Microsoft and allowed Apple to be here today (Apple would have gone bankrupt without DOJ intervention).
Didn’t Samsung make their latest watches exclusive?
It doesn't work because of compatibility issues on iOS, mostly because Apple makes it difficult for their competitors to develop for them and have all the same features. Galaxy watches work with pretty much any android even Pixel which is probably their biggest android competitor.
Why is any of this apples problem. Next they should sue Chevrolet because my Ford seat covers don’t fit on my Chevrolet seat.
More like Chevrolet forcing you to only buy Chevy tires and Chevy gas.
@@Jppen not really. Apple isn’t forcing you to not buy a Samsung watch. But people don’t want to because it’ll be shit with an Apple iPhone.
@@cypher686 they are forcing you to apple watch only. because they intentionally limit the functionality of other smart watches, so that apple watch looks better. there is no doubt that apple watch is one the best, if not the best smartwatch for most customers but shouldn't mean they should limit the other smartwatches
@@cypher686 love how you ignored his comment king
@@meroinheroin what comment? the thing about Chevrolet forcing you to buy their gas? because they don't sell gas so it doesn't really make sense.
That is ridiculous. Apple Watch is for APPLE not android. 🤖
That's the point of the lawsuit... Make it work with Android so people looking to switch have an easier time... I don't think you understood the video.
@@mrkoyunreiswell you can’t really use a Samsung watch with an iPhone either so it goes both ways
@@fake19132 Yeah i know, and that's stupid too.
@@mrkoyunreisTime to sue them too!
@@fake19132 You can with any android though. Please stop calling Samsung "Android" because there are literally many android brands making smart watches that are compatible to any android users. If apple didn't exist, no one would ever throw their smart devices because they can switch to another brand and have no issues. The whole problem is on Apple and I know they make some "good" products but this act is literally gatekeeping you to switch on Android which allows easy compatibility and uniqueness
1:44 glad to live outside of the US and not having a Problem with that, because everyone's using WhatsApp
I'm glad that I live in the EU and my phone will soon be able to natively communicate with my friends phones from another brand so that I don't even need to download an external app like Whatsapp to communicate with them.
I hate WhatsApp. I live in South Africa 🇿🇦 people here mostly use iMessage although companies switched to using WhatsApp rather than Facebook
Imagine forcing a Rolls Royce company to install Recaro seats (Sport seats) in a luxury limousine 😂 that’s not making sense. I wish Apple reject these allegations this should be communicated you can’t force a company to produce things for your own gain
2:15 bruh this is with Android watches as well
Well the difference is that Apple blocks other smart watches from using the same features that the Apple Watch has. Samsung Watch DOES work with iPhone but it is gimped because Apple limits what it can do artificially
It's apple's problem that these watches have limited function with iPhones
@@5eder.Not really. It's not their responsibility. The other companies need to make apps to make it compatible.
Apple for investors: great! Keep up the monopoly. Apple for consumers: nah... don't bother with repair, just buy another iPhone
The real question to be asked here is not why Apple is being sued, but instead why it took so long for that to happen
Allowing cross compatibility, in this instance from Apple to Android and vice versa would pose serious security risks as Google are known for collecting, selling and sucking as much data to cloud as possible. To say that an average person should be able to use Apple devices with Android as well as migrating app data from one platform to another is complete lunacy. You wouldn't go from one supermarket to another and expect them to refund what you've bought from shop A. This clearly demonstrates how tech illiterate these people are. While it would be nice to do such a thing, companies like Apple are profit focused.
I've no idea about how much data Google collects on messaging apps (if any) -- but all things being equal, how would this get worse switching to RCS? They're simply protocols, not hosting servies
great, so you're defending the company that has multi-billion dollar deals with google and allows their apps on the platform. this is a duopoly and you make it seem like Google is the only benefactor. Both companies are too strong
You have a chance to get a Play Station or a Xbox if you want. The game are not compatible. You can get a Blue Ray Player or a Lazier Disc Player and they are not compatible. Your AMC card will not work at the Regal Theaters. The Government should not tell you what to spend your money on.
The guy who put up this lawsuit was def an Android user 💀
and
Apple has always made garbage machines (even using the cheapest possible components to wire them inside)
I think keeping apps separate is ok and they should be able to make that decision for ui purposes.
1:56 Bruh they are changing to RCS 💀
But they continue to use the "Green Bubble" and some other features are still unavailable
I thought they cancelled that
@@Techtinkerer3D Yet androids can choose whatever color they want for the bubble 🤣🤣
@@crazywarp36 🤣🤣🤣
Facebook messenger, whatsapp, telegram, snapchat are all using it. iMessage is a closed system..
Wait, if I break the law, I get fined/arrested immediately. If Apple breaks the law, they get sent some documents in the mail?
You really need to stop making comments if they are going to be this stupid. Getting arrested and getting sued are not the same thing. The goal of a lawsuit like this is change behavior with-in a company. Apple can't get arrested and go to jail. You understand that right? And the fact you're getting upvotes is wild as hell. Do you really think they need goto jail because they developed a product that works better on their devices? None of these allegations are JAIL worthy acts.
doesn’t apple get sued every couple months 😭
Lol i though this was for Fool's Day.
Dumbest lawsuit in history.
Suing them for Apple Watch not operating with Android and not suing for 200$ memory upgrades is a crime in and of itself.
you can`t sue a company for its dump customers
I don't think I'm for government intervention in areas like this. Yes I think it would be nice for Apple to make things easier and more accessible for the other side but don't think they should be forced by the government to make these convenient but not necessary features. If companies want to create exclusive products I don't think that they should be stopped. If you don't like it you don't have to use it. A company should be able to choose what to do with their products (on legal guidelines of course). Why does Netflix subscription have to be so exclusive? Why shouldn't the government just force Netflix and other companies to make a subscription that works for all streaming platforms?
Because Netflix is not actively stopping you from using other streaming platforms, for example AirPods and Apple Watch do not work with android, ie Apple Watch doesn’t work outright as for AirPods they won’t update and have to be taken to the Apple Store. There are lot more anti competitive things apple is doing than just this, for example not allowing side loading by USER choice. 30% cut is too harsh on devs moreover you are FORCED to use the App Store and not allowed to use any store you would like, and apple bullies companies in the App Store for example Spotify had to face a ton of issues, floatplane’s app (LTT’s company) were not allowed to direct people to use their website to sign up even though Netflix had the same feature and apple outright said to them that Netflix was big so they were allowed but floatplane can’t. I love apple for a lot of things they do but they are being dicks in a lot of ways they don’t have to be.
Google Play also takes 30%
@@dan9802 yes but you have alternate app stores and sideloading, that’s the main argument
