There are other factors that favour Apple in this market (health).
Their brand is so much better than possible competitors and their stance on privacy (flawed though it may be in respects) and use of personal data gives them a huge advantage versus say a Google or Facebook.
The crazy thing about this is that as an opportunity it probably doesn’t require a huge investment from them for it to become a big part of their business. The pieces are all there already.
- matwood 5y agoAssuming all the companies have flaws, I think consumer brand trust probably falls in this order - Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook. There is a big gap between first and second and a larger gap between second and third, and finally a huge gap between third and forth. Amazon is already making moves in the health space so shouldn't be ignored.
- klelatti 5y agoYes. Clearly Zuck wants to distance his wider business from the damaged Facebook brand - this intrusive hardware isn’t from FB it’s from Meta!
- dwaite 5y agoThe problem is that Zuck with his majority control can't really point to anyone but himself as the cause of Facebook's poor reputation. Him at the helm of a Meta that includes Facebook and Instagram means that it will be 10x harder to differentiate past/ongoing/future abuses in their advertising-driven content products, even if they took a stance that the rest of Meta should try to be based on product/marketplace monetization.
