I kind of agree with this article. I think Apple doesn't think a lot about their competition in a sense that they solely focus on the user experience of their products and don't worry with trying to push for interopability with other products. But the whole bullying thing because of the background colour seems laughable. I also think that they have a big advantage because they have a narrow range of products (there aren't 50 different iPhones) that they can sell at a high volume giving them a lot of leverage with suppliers. Additionally they control the whole stack and probably should be able to offer a superior product compared to their competition if they execute right. I'm not sure if this warrants intervention from regulators. As a consumer I see potential for a great product that simply isn't possible if multiple companies design different elements of the stack. There are much bigger conflicts of interest and you may be using the same software and parts as your competitor so they will never be as specialized. I'm not sure if these advantages are fair. Should a hardware manufacturer not be allowed to develop an operating system for their hardware? Should the developer of an operating system not be allowed to develop and integrate services into their operating system? I guess I could extend this thinking to the overall centralization in the tech space. Which is convenient and really worrying at the same time.
