Okay so ignoring the fact that this would be insane from a business perspective.
It also doesn't make sense from a game theory perspective, if you're a Good Company that's going to fight on this issue, it makes sense to be in business as long as possible to be a pain in the rear for authoritarian jerks. If every company who was willing to stand up to these guys went out of business immediately after you'd only have people who aren't willing left over.
- cognivore 11y agoIt's no longer a business issue, and if it is, then Apple is just posing. Apple's positive affect on our economy, our technology, and even our nation, would make such a line that our government would have to think long and hard about pursing their demands. Imagine if Apple, and the tech community as a whole, stood behind that decision. Of course they won't because they rather be rich than free.

Again, its insane from a Game Theory perspective, it would require all players in the tech community to be effective, whereas if one person defects he now has access to a huge market where all the incumbents are gone. Apple doing this would just mean "someone is going to create backdoor'd phones and capture the market, just not us", and we would get nowhere.
- programmarchy 11y agoYes, it would be awesome. > they rather be rich than free But don't most people want to be rich so that they can be free?
