I'd include walmart too if walmart is the only store I'm ever allowed to shop at.

  Apple doesn’t force you to own an iPhone.

    In a world where walmart is the only store & it bans all other retail stores from existing, Walmart will become monopoly. This is false equivalence

      What do you call the Play Store? What do you call Android? Talk about false equivalence, you’ve just demonstrated that.

        The Play Store has very little for tablets. The Android tablet market is effectively dead.

        1.I have installed LineageOS which has 0 apps from Gogle 2. I have installed android apps from F_-droid/Samsung app store or even Vivo app store 3. I have directly installed apks which didn't appear on play store directly from the internet Where is my false equivalence? Pray tell me? Google makes it impossible for apps to run without play store but I've used 0 google apps on android for 1yr and lived easily with 0 issues Remove apple's app store, I dare you and then tell me you can live for one year. Apple has monopoly on app store. Walmart can't be compared. Google has technically enforced monopoly and which I oppose. I never said google play store isn't a monopoly. Are you sure you know what false equivalence means?

        Dude, you don't need to buy an iphone, you don't need to by an xbox, you don't need to buy a playstation - if you do though you will be using their stores / they will be getting a cut.

        But when I buy Android I can side load app If I buy Apple phone I can't sideload app. At all. How ia this not a monopoly. Also why you bring xbox into picture. It's a gaming console not a general purpose device ppl use 4+hrs in a day. They can have their cut buthe issue that you're ignoring is that they don't allow side loading and that they can randomly kill any app they want. Like they have done in the past and small developers don't have the money Epic does

    It does force you to use their app store for 2-7 years once you bought one until you replace it.

      It doesn't. You're free to replace it and switch to android (or better - linux) at any moment.
