How Apple is ruining the tech industry and making trillions from it. The Dark Side of Apple: First US 2 Trillion Dollar Company
I bet you love your Airpods, can’t spend your day without your Mac, iPhone is your best friend, and Apple watch accompanies you in all the adventures of your life. The way they all work seamlessly is just better than the cherry on top of any cake.
This ecosystem that Apple has created, the laws they have set for the tech industry, it’s just like Facebook owning the whole social media, but Apple is doing it without as many users.
Apple releases a new smartphone, everyone follows them; Apple released Airpods, it’s like the world has never seen Bluetooth earphones before; Apple has the shittiest Mac repair service, but no-one cares. We still want the “sexiest” laptop. They have a 64% margin on iPhone X, but no one seems to care about the price.
This goes way far than just the hardware. Apple gets to control the App Store market in the whole IOS platform, they receive 30% of every single payment you make from the apps downloaded from the App Store.
They get to make rules which other companies have to follow, big or small, it does not matter. Apple recently became the first American 2 trillion-dollar company. Where do you think all this money comes from?

Apple seems to be the gatekeeper for what's cool. They decide bluetooth earphones are cool; suddenly everyone starts using them -> realizes how convenient they are -> other follow suit, selling on convenience. And the cycle repeats.
I laughed at the "Apple has the shittiest Mac repair service", because I didn't have to repair anything from Apple in the last 10-12 years 🤣 My family is using mac(book)s too, and the 1 thing that broke during all that time was the SuperDrive (DVD drive) getting stuffed and stopped working in a 3-years old laptop 🤷🏻♂️ At the time we all moved past DVDs already... The only computer that actually DID require repairs was my 12" PowerBook G4 post guarantee period, something with the screen connectivity or backlighting broke, it was a 1-day in 3rd party repairshop job, the laptop works till this day 😱
