I believe the parent said they just out-innovated, rather than also strong-arming others.

  Apple did “strong arm” carriers to release their grip over customers and prevent them from installing their own bloatware, and allowing their customers to install updates directly.

    Yes, they strong-armed carriers into only installing Apple's bloatware, and only allowing Apple to control updates. The user still didn't gain anything.

      The user didn’t gain anything from Apple sending updates to all of its customers globally on phones up to five years old without having to wait on the carriers like Android users do?
