Er... what?
Apple has been worried, and actually threatened, by Google every day since 2008, when the first version of Android came out.
Without Android, Apple would probably have a 90% monopoly on mobile phones today. Saying they might be "worried" is beyond an understatement.
They are absolutely furious at Google, as Jobs was until he passed away.

- ocdtrekkie 10y agoYou know, I think on the second to last line on your comment, I transposed Apple and Android or something like that. :/
