> The point is to create a massively deep and wide technical and capital moat between iPhones and anything else on the market. It’s a very deliberate long term strategy that’s been running for well over a decade. It's worth noting that this is also the reason that non-Apple ARM-based CPUs won't be taking over from x86 for a long time if ever; the difference between Apple/Intel/AMD in terms of performance is still multiple years ahead of Qualcomm/Samsung/anyone else's best efforts, even though these companies have had ample time to catch up. Now, maybe Apple can put some time in getting their newest UI framework to work properly.
