With a market capitalization in excess of $2 trillion and annual profits of close to $100 billion, Apple is one of the most profitable and valuable companies in the world. Is this success the result of innovation or anti-competitive practices? In this video we critically analyze the US Department of Justice's competition case against Apple.

They understand the mindset of the masses. Ppl are willing to pay more to get less, as long as they are seen as rich or trendy. Most ppl aren't that practical
That may have worked for a short period, but if Apple only relied on “trendiness” to work, they’d quickly go out of business. There’s a reason people use Apple products - and that’s primarily because they know how to cater to users’ expectations.
If you don’t acknowledge or understand that, you’ll never “get” why people like and use Apple products.
Pople seem to forget that.@@BlownMacTruck
@@BlownMacTruck So, how does apple meet user's expectations? I use an ipad, it has some nice features, like closing apps easily instead of swiping...which is what most people prefer nowadays. Overall, it's not worth paying more.
@@Nowhere-fromWho knows? Everyone is different. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be selling.
@@Nowhere-fromlook at Apple Vision Pro and that will explain what users expect.
Apple - pay more, get less
Yet, you still buy an iPhone

Apple sucks! The first apple I had was a 2e with a green monochrome monitor back in 1984ish The IBM 286 I got in 1986 was by far better. All the overpriced macintosh, Macs and powerbooks I purchased over the year sucked. Apple sucks.
Apple products have a wider variety of third-party accessories, and an overall more seamless ecosystem. While in Hong Kong, I took a nasty fall and cracked the display in the process. Walked into the Apple Store, repaired my screen, and processed it through AppleCare. So there is definitely something to be said for their retail network.
Go read Apple and Google’s respective privacy policies. Apple spells it out in plain English and does not mince words. By simply toggling a switch, Advance Data Protection will expand end-to-end encryption to cover: iCloud backups, iCloud Drive, Photos. In doing so, you self-custody your encryption key. Apple doesn’t have your key. FBI, fedbois, glowies, etc. did a big mad when Apple enabled this feature.
The “Apple Tax” used to be a very real thing, but iPhone 15 Pro, Mac Mini, and MacBook Air are all excellent value for money. The Apple TV is by far the most polished streaming device. Their RAM and storage upgrade pricing is obnoxious, and some products probably aren’t good value for money. Office for MacOS is atrocious. Fact that I can’t run three displays on my M1 MacBook Air is just ridiculous.
It’s not like I’m an Apple fanboy, don’t know anything about Android, etc. I had the original Motorola Droid, a launch day Galaxy Nexus; my HTC One and Galaxy S5 were both vanilla android. I switched several people over to Android. Then I tried an iPhone, and can’t imagine going back.
And even to the extent that the (greatly exaggerated) “Apple Tax” does exist, it is offset by the fact that Apple products consistently have better resale value.
Shout out to Europeans on iPhones who don't know what iMessage even is lol
Right? The only thing the Messages app does is send me spam
But they know what the eco system is because they have all the rest tightly integrated that way.
What do you mean? iMessage is available in the EU
@@TheJulien2002 iMessage is not actually used much in the EU - people prefer other messaging apps.
@@TheJulien2002he means nobody uses it
Im not sure I would want a so-called super app... Having a single app for banking, chat etc seems like a huge security risk.
It's the same with paying with your phone. As long as you give your banking informations to a third party, you increase the risks. So Apple arguments regarding Apple pay is bullshit. Using your bank app is the safest way to do transactions.
As an android user, I never use Google Pay. I had an iPhone for almost a year , 4 years ago. I just came back to Android. A phone that doesn't do what I want, and only does what the manufacturer wants is just a piece of junk. If it does what the manufacturer wants instead of what I want, why do I have to pay for a purchase instead of a small rent fee ?
It is. In China the super-app is used for surveillance. They also have a super-app for PC...
@@rayoflight62 In China almost everything is to monitor you. About SuperApp, I don't know about USA, but in EU, they would be very quickly sued for monopoly and trust activities. Besides western consumers don't have the same buying habits so I don't think there will be western versions encompassing so many domains.
Jack of all trades, master of none. I’ve found if any program can do too many things, it has no incentive to specialise and do one thing really, really well.
@@Efflorescentey Worst thing is Apps and anything built by men has the same flaw : risks of bugs or/and failure. The more you make it do or manage things, the higher the risks of something going wrong. And it can even spread.
Solution is simple. I have done this since Apple exists: avoid Apple like the plague. There have been, are and always will be good alternatives.
None that integrate as well as Apple products, however. Good luck with that.
Since you can avoid Apple products by buying alternatives, this means Apple is not a monopoly.
Meanwhile, no lawsuits for Boeing; a company that cuts corners in airplane manufacturing which causes plane crashes. Truly mind blowing.
@@AlanTheBeast100 As a Windows and Android user, I can confirm you're living in the reality distortion field.
@@PXAbstractionyou can’t take a photo with the android and windows setup and right click and paste the image straight from the camera app on the phone 😊
@@checkoutmyyoutubepage Wrong. Phone Link is built right into Windows 10+ and does exactly this and much more besides.
Also how Apple developed software that could properly open Microsoft's Excel, Word, PowerPoint etc. files on its own apps, back in the day, but now would probably sue into oblivion any company that tried to do that with Apple's own proprietary formats.
Er, no. Their saved format is based on open formats (the save file is just a zip compressed file containing the images and text) and the format is fully documented. They also fully embrace open standards (epub, pdf, plain text) to allow for full conversions. They even include previews in open image formats in the file so you don’t have to convert anything if you just want to quickly view it.
But of course this doesn’t stop people like you from spreading FUD because you don’t actually engage in basic critical thinking.
They wouldn’t need to sue anyone. It is a felony to reverse engineer a company’s algorithm. They don’t need civil enforcement. The actual police will come and raid your servers
@@BlownMacTruck lol... look at you desperately defending Apple when you're the one spewing total bullsh⋮t on here. The Pages file format, which seems to be what you're referring to, is proprietary (like all other native IWork formats). You imply otherwise by saying they're "based on open formats". That's like saying soda is healthy cause it's based on water. If they are open, where are the specifications and documentation you mention? Where are the specifications and standards for any other of Apple's custom formats, like ProRes, for that matter?
Are you really trying to convince people that Apple is some champion of open technology? Cause nobody will buy that. Apple went to great lengths to become literally the corporation literally best known for locking their devotees into non-standard, pointlessly and intentionally non-interoperable formats. But yeah, "basic critical thinking," as you put it...
Microsoft sell MS Office for Macs - and have for decades.
And Pro tip: MS made the formats open source a long time ago too.
But - scream at Apple.
@@jogennotsuki Er, I guess all those GitHub projects around iwa files (the db format used in pages files, which, again, are just ZIP files) plus the developer documentation on Apple's website is just fake.
Oh and Apple is a giant open source advocate. At various points in GitHub's commit count, they were #1 across a whole slew of open source projects. Their entire OS is built on open source. They come by default with standard CLI compilers and utilities, and zsh is its default shell. There's a reason software devs love using Macs - they can move entire toolchains from Linux to MacOS back and forth with pretty much no changes. But yeah. They're "non-standard". Spoken like someone who doesn't actually do any software dev and is still relying on the late 90s Apple for their information.
Apple really trained its consumers to be happy about getting less
Yeah - it really sucks that my Mac/iPhone/iPad/Watch all work together so seamlessly that I hardly notice it.
@@AlanTheBeast100My phone and computer work almost completely separately.
What would be the advantage of them "working seamlessly"?
@@ZealotOfStealtake a photo with an iPhone and right click and paste the image on your Mac.
@@ZealotOfSteal Read again. It's the work _together_ seamlessly that counts. Examples: 1) if I'm driving and dictate a note via my car to my iPhone, that note appears on all my Apple devices in the Notes App. So it's available wherever I may need it. 2) There there is handoff ... work on one machine in an app, continue on another - no interaction other than continuing the work on the other device.
3) Writing an e-mail on my Mac - want to take a photo of something to include - just "insert photo on the Mac" and the phone is ready to snap the photo; snap it, accept it, and it is automatically on the Mac in the e-mail being composed ... same when writing a document or taking a note.
Too much/many/more to describe. You get used to these conveniences quick.
Cant you do all of this with MS office regardless of device?
Dude, Apple was not a startup in the 90's. They had Super Bowl ads in 1984.

The reason we chat is so successful is that it's pushed on the Chinese people. It is partially supported by the government to be used for just about everything so they have a one stop shop to check on people. They can't be compared with other apps
one super app to replace them all - it doesn't seem very competitive
still more competitive than the Apple ecosystem (who not only controller the software like superapp, but also the hardwares (beyond phones too, Apple also tried to hook you on Airpods, VR headset, Apple Watch, etc)
Yeah, super app is also anticompetitive. You just bend the knee to wechat instead.
one super app is like in China. and the chinese government loves it for surveillance.
It’s competitive, it’s not stopping you or limiting you whatsoever unlike Apple. Who limits and ruins your experience.

very tricky question, thanks for the video
I wouldn't say they're wealthier, but cult member sacrifice anything for the cause.
Just one more reason we need to teach media literacy to our children.
Apple uses the technique of charging high prices to instill the feeling that you are getting a quality product. It worked for other companies in the past and it still works now. Once you have yourself established as a kind of status symbol, you can produce lower and lower quality products for higher and higher prices. They use very small and effortless techniques to make the customer believe they are getting a better product of that particular series by calling it pro and pro max. When we all know there is no such thing as a professional phone user. It's too late now, they have their following and those followers tend to defend apple with aggression.
A specific example of how they do this is the price of memory upgrades when buying laptops, and indeed, making upgrades impossible.
You are super smart, wish people knew that, most people don’t know this.
I mean I can buy a dell laptop for $300 with 13 hr battery life.
@@gund89123and if you take second hand you can lower the price even more.
and if you don't use windows, double that battery life.
The androids users instigate the problem, and are disrespectful about it too for no reason at all.
The aggression is justified tbh.
Didnt apple instigate the microsoft antitrust suits in the 90s
That’s what they video says
I invested a decent amount into apple, but as an android user. I hope they cut back on their anticompetitive practices.
Soon Apple will see the error of it's ways, and open up their ecosystem, surely.
@@Bob.martensha
Why would they cut back on anticompetitve practices if Apple is profiting off of you?
@hellojams well I'm not buying apple products anymore android are better phones
buy (i)shares instead of iphones.
Insert Nolan Batman Harvey Dent quote
Could you do a video on The Bay? The oldest and now failing Canadian company? I'd love to hear your analysis on how they ended up here.
It is a little bit easier. With anything else, like Messenger, I have to check the App. With Apple, it comes. I still use non-Apple apps for synchronous communication.
It is interesting that since Apple moved away from using standard PC hardware that there is complete silence on their performance. They did try to compete directly using that for a while, but charging $1000 for their OS on top of the hardware cost was a bit much.
Doing this on their phones however seems to have worked pretty well for them.
their phones are like expensive handbags, a status symbol.
a few years back one had good reasons like better software and hardware but now, pick a random phone and it will do the job just fine.
@@chimagamer4157if I pick a random phone it will be too unnecessarily complex. Everything is all over the place.
Simplicity and convenience is what Apple excels at.
I've had my note 9 since 2018, 512/8gb still a great phone and it has a 3.5mm audio port
What game is at 6:45?
I made the switch to an iPhone about a year ago from a Galaxy for a few reasons: Face ID, iMessage being top of the list. I suppose it didn’t help having 2 of each apps on my galaxy but most of all I was just bored of Android…

Apple’s main product isn’t the product itself but rather the feeling of luxury and that you are better than others and people don’t care about the price as long as they have this feeling
You missed a bit here. 1. RCS is and has been a thing, Apple just fights using it. 2. Androids are not a 'cheaper' product, there are just a way variety of hardware compatible, many are far superior.
I work construction, and while I didn't have to switch to Apple it does make it easier to communicate with customers as they usually have Apple and can FaceTime, I can send full resolution pictures with just a phone number, they often share addresses through Apple maps, and so many other little things.
As much as I'd like to protest as I have for over a decade, I'm more concerned with working and making money.
If you really think of it, you can have thesame access to everyone alive if apple changed its ways. And you don’t have to log a $1500 phone in and out of site
So... Apple products have the same functionality as every messaging app?
Apple just needs to accept RCS with google
@@jogennotsuki yes except I can't expect customers to download an app to communicate more effectively with them
@@MisterOwling I would rather NIST handle this
I think Apple will win its argument re iMessage. iMessage is a competitive differentiator and Apple shouldn’t have to accommodate android users in this regard. But yes, Apple engages in anticompetitive practices, and I say that as someone with 2 iPhones, an iPad, AirPods, an Apple Watch, and a MacBook (every company engages in anticompetitive practices)
The OG iPhone was priced at a lower rate because it was new and they were worried it would not sell. Now they have brand recognition and know they sell it only makes sense to raise to price $40. Apple came out with news to allow more super apps, and there have been super apps like WeChat and Facebook here in the USA. They will also work are supporting messages outside Imessage. Also, the complaint of the message bubble holds no legal grounds. I read some of the DOJ reasons and a good amount are outdated, or if not applicable to many more US companies. They not only have no precedent but shifting the precedent may cause more harm than good. Therefore I don't see them as a "monopoly" well at least not enough to lose in the court case.
where is the source material of Microsoft interfered with Quicktime player on its own OS???
I had both media player and QT installed back in the day and both worked fine..
how innovative
$800 Iphone is an idiot tax.
The original iPhone for $500 was carrier subsidized. Its unsubsidized cost was close to $1k.
The iphone 3g was $650 unlocked, $199 with a carrier though.
yeah. a car in 1980 cost $7,000 - and now $40k is the average. your point is??
Lets be honest, all of the >1billion dollar tech companies have good tech making them very valuable but also a monopolistic scheme making it nearly impossible for competition to challenge them (Yes even Nvidia, specifically with CUDA).
Google, Samsung are competing with Apple ?
It is the people that make them a monopoly.
There are alternative search engines, operating systems, phones available.
i own ipad and macbook and i hate ipados limited behaviour whereas macos is like linux where i can install any app etc no problem but on ipad its nightmare a useless device for me (why it can also be open as macos) apple is more monopoly then what microsoft was accused of.
Apple is good for laptops and nothing else
Jailbreaking iphones was once a fun pastime. A few apps that would have been blocked were listed there, like customized RUclips and "Linux iso sharing" apps.
Current Apple is the old Microsoft. Tim Cook is the new Steve Balmar. No wonder Apple is losing the AI battle.
Well who is the winner then? Who is making money with AI?
Your phone and PC need AI?
One reason I don't use iPhone after iPhone 2. I don't see the point using iPhone anymore because any Android phone do pretty much the same thing I need for an iPhone.
There's a South African-Germany company headquartered in South Africa called Steinhoff. Can you please make a video about it. It's the biggest corporate corruption in South africa
you forgot to mention that every single developer account for apple pays for the privilege, nay, for they honor of developing apps for Apple. as a user apple great. as a developer, it a nightmare
But Apple is not a monopolies?
While locking iMessage, they also refused to support RCS, which is effectively the same thing, but open. I have never purchased anything Apple, and never will due to all their crap.
this is why most apps in the app store are not free
this is a very weak case. now is a good time to buy.

But yet, this is *NOT* the situation in the late 1990's when Microsoft effectively had a hammerlock on the desktop and laptop computer markets. In that case, the inclusion of Internet Explorer 3.x versions in Windows 98 was devastating to Netscape.
In 2024, if you're not satisfied with Apple want to control everything, there is a _very_ viable alternative available: Android. And in fact, if you count the whole world, Android's marketshare is far bigger than that of the iPhone. You can pretty much do everything on an Android phone that you could do with an iPhone.
I knew they were up to something. I have a iPhone which works ok between me and other apple user's but doesn't when I talk to Android user's. I have been saying it for years.
Mine works great with anyone. 🤷🏼♂️. It might just be your provider.
Come on. A trip to Walmart's phone section says otherwise
Apple release the SE for $400 , crippled small battery lol
Give it two weeks NVidia will have a larger market cap and therefore be the largest monopoly. Screenshot this.
For what exactly would I ever need an Apple product? Phone...no. Music...no. Any other media...no. Home or work computing...no.
I have owned 2 iPhones since switching from Samsung (used them for nearly 10 years). I made the switch as some apps were not available on android. Personally, I loathe Apple. Given this… the comparison of messaging apps is a weak argument. The core functionality of messaging is the same for both Apple and android. The only difference is superficial in image resolution and a petty color scheme. If this is the basis for the justice department’s argument, then I would say they are pulling straws. As for the App Store, the argument is that the App Store is blocking innovation. Last I checked, android also has an App Store. So why feed the Apple Store? If the App Store wants to block innovation, there is another option
Apple is just going to get forced to open up like Microsoft was. It is a good company but its innovation is stock buybacks. 😂
Not defending Apple but Cloud computing is VERY messy and divisive, particularly for gaming. Not only is very good Internet speeds required, but also STABLE internet and on top of the fact that even good network give latency that produces input delay that gives an unsatisfying experience(character takes long to move after you press a button), on top of bad frame pacing(a jittery looking video) and generally bad/subtimized version of the game for cloud gaming compared to conventional "physical" gaming.
They aren't a monopoly but they sure are anticompetitive
I feel good that owning an android is normal in my country but iPhones are rising 😪
Tim Apple at it again
As an android user i really couldnt care less if im left out of the loop etc... but i know how powerful it is with kids and schools.
At my kids school, for a dance performance they said we can bring in music on a apple device. I was furious at this so i called the principal asking why, and apparently it was because the speaker that they had used a lightening connector. So i ended up buying a universal speaker that could plug into apple and android devices.
too much money and incompetence, also getting a bluetooth speaker would also do the trick works with any device capable of receiving wlan
The super app is the iPhone
yep! but all the butthurt freeloader 'developers' want to use the App Store and not pay for the infrastructure LOL
I have an android s9
6:52 "cloud gaming" is and always will be a meme.
Monopoly implies a lack of alternatives. I don't use any Apple services or hardware, therefore Apple is categorically not a monopoly. It could be argued that they're part of an oligopoly in the very specific context of smartphone operating systems.
I'm die hard Android, but I recognize Apple is not a monopoly. They simply identified a human weakness for acceptance. The real villain is Steve Ballmer who failed at creating a serious competitor at Microsoft
Apple is a luxury goods company above being a tech company. Status over spec
I think the title of the video and the content is misleading, how Apple can be a monopoly when it has less than 25% of the smart phone market world wide, the comparison with Microsoft is not correct because at that time Microsoft with Windows had 90% of market world wide and there was no other option for personal PC outside Windows, the situation with Apple is different, there are so many smart phone brands you can buy so if people decide to buy Apple at high price it is their choice.
Apple was making PCs (called macs) since the 80s.
Proud android user here 😊
The solution is to allow foreign companies to sell their Android phones in the USA. Android phones with comparable specs, only have a MRSP that is 30% the price of an iphone.
SEND APPLE TO THE TRUCK STOP!!!
As a developer, was pretty irritated that i had no choice but to buy a macbook in order to publish apps on mac.
Moving to ios was a terrible decision. So many things unsupported and it's terribly inefficient compared to windows
go develop somewhere else than. I hear the android platform is available for you. Or maybe you can't make as much $ on android? or maybe your app will be copied and you won't have much protection compared to the Apple App Store?
Is it that Android users earn less or that we are not willing to be pimped by Apple? 🤔 I can point to 5 people in my circle who earn significantly less than me, but have all the Apple toys.
People are mad that Apple takes a cut from developers.
How do following companies make money ?
Uber, Lyft, door dash, Uber eats, Spotify, Epic games, eBay, Amazon,
All these companies take a cut from sellers/service providers.
Why is it wrong just for Apple to do it ?
Serious question.

It is really funny compared to europe like germany. Boomer rich use usually iphones but rich people under 40 use mostly Android. The richest dude in my friend group, net worth somewhere around 100 mil, is running around with a mid range Motorola. I remember this because it stood that much out. But we also do not use the pre installed android software. US government spies for US companies, so it is completely unacceptable to use normal android or ios.
