This argument really holds no water to my eye because the average consumer is subject almost solely to paid adverts and maybe a little knowledge about tidbits like this rather than any deep knowledge about the platform or Apple - the information asymmetry is hook, line, and sinker in apples favour so there is almost no inherent protection for the consumer in this regard when compared to (say) even an Android phone, or better a PC
- cyrksoft 6y agoYou know what you get when buying an iPhone. Your argument stems from you believing you know more about the preferences of the average consumer than himself. Why should Apple be forced to offer a specific product? Don't like it, don't buy it. There are plenty of alternatives out there.
- dmitriid 6y ago> the information asymmetry is hook, line, and sinker in apples favour Boohoo, I really feel sorry for companies like Google (5th richest company in the world, and whose Android runs on ~80% of smartphones) and Samsung (23% market share last quarter compared to Apple's 21%). It's too bad the information asymmetry doesn't protect them.
