> Google for the Play Music + commercial free YouTube
easy to sell to a demographic that pursues perceived luxury over dollar to value ratio but you are right that Google has built an economic moat around their monopolies that unfortunately Apple or Microsoft can ever overthrow.
Google realized the value of services which Apple is way too late to the party. Kudos to them for trying. But I doubt the same number of people would still buy iPhones if Google one day decided to block Youtube.
5 years ago, I might have had to seriously consider the iPhone but Android tbh has gotten so good that Apple no longer feels all that special. Samsung Galaxy S8 and up are all luxurious beasts. Apple will also probably copy Samsung's DeX, I see this to be the next battleground-mobile desktop phones.
Use your phone and plug it into a monitor to use as desktop. Samsung is not graceful with UI and this is where I think Apple can expand.
