Power is power, they have more in common than in difference. I'll stipulate that they arrived at power and maintain it slightly differently. > There is nothing that Apple has that others cannot buy. How can you state this as a fact? Even a relatively high-level Apple executive wouldn't know that with any level of certainty. I don't really take issue with Apple compared to some of the others, but their vertically integrated position means that they don't have vigorous competition. There are only a handful of empire-scale companies that can compete with them at all. Smaller businesses are not vigorous competition, since Apple (or similar) could crush them at any time they want with their scale, as they recently did with Tile.
