So your saying apple would have to stop making operating systems?
Or are you saying Qualcomm would be required to not provide drivers?
This is a super dumb take, like beyond stupid, and I get that it’s directed at apple.
Here’s the thing: since day 1 apple has been a hardware company, and what makes hardware good or bad is often the software that drives runs it. That goes for every product apple makes.
The idea that you can remove one half of that from the other is beyond stupid.
- thomastjeffery 3y agoThe same people who are currently working on hardware for Apple would be working for a new company that makes hardware, and the new Apple Software Co. would continue to work with those people just as closely as they always have. The only difference is that Microsoft Windows, Linux kernel devs, etc. would also be able to work with that hardware company to get their OS working on that hardware. The hardware company would not be allowed to keep secrets between itself and Apple.

Yes. They'd have to provide an actual manual for a change. > This is a super dumb take, like beyond stupid, and I get that it’s directed at apple. It's not. Many more would have to rethink their entire business model.
