Mobile phones are locked in the Apple Google duopoly for the foreseeable future.
Apple the only one being able to make money while Google based manufacturers are competing for scraps.
Google’s indirect monetization of Android makes it impossible for competitors to emerge.
DOJ is shooting at the wrong guy if what they want is more competition.

- throwaway4good 3y agoNone of these companies make enough money to compete with Apple. That is why there is a lack of innovation and why a true third-party competitor cannot emerge. Google makes plenty of money indirectly by their ad-profiling business spending some of it sponsoring Android and some of it paying off Apple.
