- Shared404 6y ago> I'm no fan of Apple This suggests that as a consumer, you haven't benefited from this.
- BoysenberryPi 6y agoThe fact that they are the most valuable company on Earth suggest that many consumers do benefit from it.
- anotherman554 6y agoOr it suggests patent laws prevent consumer friendly companies from competing with Apple.
- nullandvoid 6y agoMany consumers benefit from a good product they enjoy using, regardless of ownership of the stack behind it The fact they own their full stack, has resulted in some of the most anti consumer parts of the business. Allowing monopolization on repairs / part pricing etc
- amelius 6y agoBenefited from a price that's 30% higher than it could have been?
- Shared404 6y agoThat's what I'm saying. The above comment was implying that due to Apple's worth, they were benefiting consumers. I was pointing out that the above commentors personal experience showed otherwise.
