In theory, the duopoly would be broken by manufacturers from other countries, but those products would just get banned in America.

- wombat-man 5y agoWhy do you think this?
- wyre 5y agoBecause Hauwei is a competitor from another country but is banned in America
- TulliusCicero 5y agoThere's plenty of foreign phone manufacturers that sell in America. The idea that the US would ban them solely for being foreign is absurd.
- tristor 5y agoHuawei is banned because they installed backdoors for a hostile foreign government in their devices and got caught. Not "just" because they're foreign. You can buy lots of Chinese made and foreign-made handsets in the US.
- wombat-man 5y agoI mean you talk about manufacturers most android phones are not American these days.. We're talking about operating systems where the moat is a lot more about the app ecosystem
- wyre 5y agoYa, I don’t think the GP is correct either, but I’m sure some people see Hauwei/US relations as part of a great anti-China conspiracy.
- gilrain 5y agoYou can right now buy handsets made even by the US’s primary competitor, China. Go nuts, have a blast. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Huawei+phone https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Huawei+phone
