I think they could carve out a niche as the phone manufacturer that respects people's privacy, but I'd be a lot happier to join their cheerleading squad over that if they weren't also constantly ratcheting up their prices. It doesn't sit well with Tim Cook's statements to the effect of privacy being a right and not a luxury.
- scirocco 8y ago"phone manufacturer that respects people's privacy" Small market (outside of HN) :)
- basch 8y agoright now apple is - privacy focused - arm processor design leader - swift native apps thats about all that differentiates it. the question is how long that will matter, and if or when the third becomes more of a hinderance. If Microsoft and Google continue to grow towards each other (teams being built on chrome, Microsoft treating android as its mobile operating system.)
- black-tea 8y agoI thought Apple was going for that market already. Microsoft going there would be hilarious.
