If I would get a dollar every time the media reports antitrust action is coming for Apple and people who insist Apple is “going to get rekt,” I could buy up 100% of the Apple stock and turn the iMessage bubbles purple and make iMessage only accessible to me and a select few so everyone on earth could complain forever how they’re being excluded.
At this point, let’s get it over with.
Let the DOJ sue them with 1200 pages of alleged violations, everything they could possibly think of and then some, and have the courts, all the way up to the SCOTUS, decide once and for all if Apple is violating antitrust laws and what, if anything, needs to be done to remedy it.
They could pull Apple apart into 20 companies for all I care. Let’s just get it over with so we know, once and for all if Apple was naughty in the eyes of the law or not.
But somehow, I suspect we will never get this sweet release because the next (and already held) debate will then be about how there needs to be new legislation to make them naughty in the eyes of the law, even though there’s no constitutional way of doing so in such a way that it would only affect Apple and not the latest hot startup on Silicon Valley.
