This is a disingenuous argument. The two are nothing alike. One is about how they artificially limit their platform for their own dominance, and the other is literally just giving away money. One hurts consumers and competitors, the other is a nonsense expectation that no reasonable person has.
- rambambram 2y agoThat disingenuous argument is an example, of course. I already put that inside my argument. It's the chosen words that irk me. Apple does things, yes. But it not only restricts Pebble, as they make it seem, it restricts everybody.
- bitpush 2y agoI dont fault Apple. A company exists to make maximum money. Most monopolistic actions look like normal business decision, dare I say, even obvious. In this case, Apple is 100% exhibiting those tendencies. They are not acting maliciously, but their actions have that effect.
