amazing how governments are keeping corporations in check. Its almost like that is their job or something
But Apple will win, I can just feel it. Too many holes for them to build narratives.
I missed the part of the constitution that says it's the government's job to keep corporations in check.
It’s not their job. It’s the consumers job. The governments job is solely to protect natural rights.
@@snaeshaads8203what will “their” justice be? They wont care
The government's actually doing a pretty terrible job with that one lately. I'm shocked that they're actually doing this one

Personally, I think they should be fighting for right to repair too. The amount of restriction that comes with replacing a battery or putting in a new screen if you don’t go through one of their Apple-authorized repair shops is insane.
*also even if you do use authorized repair shops
forthcoming eu rule suggests batteries must be user replaceable
Right here lol @MichaelDustter
You dont get it. Having unique hardware serial numbers that have to be paired or your fingerprint sensor and cam won't work is for security reasons!
Its to secure more money for apple. You spend 1000$ + on that phone already, pay some more. You insecure little biscuit... You need that blue chat bubble and you will sink more money into repairing your apple instead of buying a capable phone that makes green bubbles for the same price.
Good thing Oregon recently made right to repair into law recently.
100% sure Apple will make Android compatibility and then say it was their decision because they want to support that. Playing PR out like they are the good guys.
They’ve already started by announcing RCS compatibility.
As I had already mentioned in my other comments here, I personally believe that monopolization is the result of loss of consumer rights, including right-to-repair, as well as the result of closed-source software. I wish Big Tech could be stopped by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in these United States of America, and by forcing Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other corporations to open-source all of their code, I believe that monopolization could be stopped successfully. This is the same reason why I am considering System76 for my next PC.
Just like Starbucks promoting hiring veteran wives and veterans
A woman on Tinder once started a conversation by making sure I was an Iphone user. I told her 'no, but I can get one just to talk to you, I have one phone for each of my girlfriends anyway'. The joke strangely didn't land, don't know why.
You were below her standards. That's 80/90% of all men, welcome to current year.
@@Nobody90019not current yr, but human history
Because she isn't an Apple user? They are not known for their intelligence...
Dodged a bullet there, mate
@@godnyx117 that’s right only the most brilliant used Motorola phones
Apple being so locked down is why i switched back to android. And if someone doesn't like me because i'm on a better cheaper phone from any company that isn't apple then they aren't worth knowing.
Yeah like wtf, imagine marrying someone like that "oh no, you got fired, we're breaking up"
Absolutely!
And that’s the solution! People have the choice to leave the walled garden 😮 Shocking, i know… it’s not the government’s job to make sure the garden is not walled. Otherwise the government should offer alternatives to paying taxes, for example to other public service providers beside their own. I should have the right to choose which TSA agency searches me at the airport, or which DMV alternative agency issues my license.
And I am currently in the struggle to switch to Linux. The only portion of my current experience I will feel like I miss on is simply GarageBand/Logic Pro from Apple. Someday I may even want to switch to Signal.
@@Haise-san that happens quite often. Gold diggers are everywhere.
Absolutely this is way worse than the Microsoft antitrust case, and I've been amazed for many years now that the FTC has just been blatantly ignoring monopolistic behaviours and practices. This is ridiculously overdue, and heads should have rolled within the US gov for lack of action. They've made this way harder for themselves waiting so long.
Well, the FTC was defunded for some time
My boy Tim Cook must've pissed off someone up the chain.
No doubt that there are people inside the government getting "benefits" from apple
it’s because they’re being lobbied (bribed)
@@skop3609 Also, the government benefits massively from the mass surveillance from these corporations. This just wasn't the case for Microsoft in the 90s.
I now know why Apple didn't go ahead with the Apple Car. Someone must have told them that they can't force owners to use Apple only manufactured roads
Ah the good old car joke. If Microsoft built cars they would run on any street but break down constantly. If "linux" (I know linux isn't a single entity) the car would work not break down, but not be able to use every road/have trouble doing it. And apple cars would only run on one street built by apple

Ideal scenario for all platforms -
1. I should be allowed to change it (root).
2. Download and install things directly from web (GitHub).
3. Equal access for developers (Super Apps).
4. Change and remove default apps at least the ones that are not mandatory (ex - remove FaceTime, but not the base layer that makes video calling work)
5.
5 Full ownership of the device and thus, Right to repair.
Ideal scenario: All software is open-source, period. That way monopolization can be prevented, and monetization will be restricted to fairly low levels, and having too little money is better than having too much in my opinion because of the monopolization issue.
Add unlocking the bootloader and installing an operating system of your choice on a device that you own to #1
and get trillions of developed viruses
meanwhile in EU, if you root android you dont get to use your internet banking apps (doesnt seem to be the case for all banks just yet but theyre slowly rolling it out)
What did apple to do upset the US and EU overlords? Something must have happened, did they somehow refuse to give some spying data or similar? They had to do something, this doesnt normally happen if they cooperate and have good relations with agencies.
Apple wouldn't refuse that, they've already been doing that.
Yes. They have a long history of not allowing feds unfettered access to peoples' phones. And just implemented post quantum encryption into iMessage for more security. Apple's based tbh. Wish open source dorks weren't so blind with hatred that they can't see it, but it's true.
Yep. They have a long history of not allowing glowies access to peoples' phones, and glowies hate them because of it. Notice how this is happening right after Apple announces post quantum encryption coming to iMessage.
Quantum encryption rollout
government actually exists to regulate, fun fact. I know the US can make it seem like its just an extension of business, but that's not generally the case.
By you saying 'the argument against Microsoft sounded pretty weak to me' and 'nothing prevented you from using a different browser', I can clearly tell you either were not around back in the day or you were not paying attention. Internet Explorer was monopolizing the business and education internet by using all kinds of proprietary extensions to the HTML standard together with software such as ActiveX and Moonlight, other browsers were not allowed to use. This strategy is called 'embrace, extend, extinguish'; there are articles on it.
This made the situation both hell for developers and consumers. Developers could not ignore Internet Explorer because of the big market-share and thus needed to develop for that browser. But if customers wanted to use a different browser, then developers were forced to develop the software again in an entirely different way or to say to no consumers. Students or employees who needed to use a certain web-page could not simply say 'I want to use a different browser than IE to visit that webpage' when the webpage would just refuse to offer service/functionalities.
That moment when you thought you were getting a walled garden but it was actually a walled prison.
With one plant. GaRdEn.
but you chose to get in?
@@akg_tableLol you can't choose to be ripped off. Stop thinking like a serf

Behave? One billion dollars...
Bro if you're governcucked just say that.
It's the U.S., they will probably just pay off the right judge and get a $10 fine, and be asked nicely to not do it again. Think of Tim Apple, he might need to cut back on his yachts or whatever else the billionaires spend on these days.
@lance_374 do you have to give tip on your fine (I'm not American) so it's 10+ tip?
I used to flip-flop between Android/Apple flagship when I used to upgrade my phones. I completely swore off Apple devices in High-School after getting into more casual reading and went to take my books that I purchased and paid FULL PRICE for from my Apple device and move them onto my new android, only to figure out that they were DRM locked to Apple devices. Why did I pay you full price to not own my own the book? why are you charging me MSRP to force me to stay in your walled garden. That singular issue opened my eyes to just how predatory a lot of these companies are and turned me into a full-on pirate and made me so much more cognoscente of my overall online purchasing habits. Ill go buy the paperback in-store and then torrent it to bring it onto my kindle/phone for reading on the go. Thanks Apple for opening my eyes at such a young age.
You were young and dumb😊
This DRM problem isn't just in apple. Although other book services like googles or amazons are more open and you can read them in more devices.
That's not on Apple. If Android wanted you to have those books, they would. It works on an Apple device, why is it Apple's fault if it doesnt work on an Android device?
@@akg_tableWhen you buy a book on the store you are buying an ePub - this is the most standard format for an electronic book you can purchase. You can import your own ePubs onto an iPhone and they work just fine , you just cannot take the ePubs that you purchased off of the platform because they are DRM locked. It has nothing to do with the format or it "working" on x y z platform and if apple let me move them off my apply ID android would happily let me "have those books" on my other device, as again, it's the MOST STANDARD format for online books that there is. It is 100% on Apple when they apply a DRM to your digital asset. In my younger ignorance I was under the impression they acted as a host for just buying online books that you would own - I figured out I was wrong as stated in my OP. That is why I don't by books online anymore. I will buy the paperback so the author gets their cut and then torrent it in .ePub and .awz so I can have native kindle and general ePub formats for my mobile reading.
@@xrafterYes that is why I said "That singular issue opened my eyes to just how predatory a lot of these companies are and turned me into a full-on pirate and made me so much more cognoscente of my overall online purchasing habits" and " Ill go buy the paperback in-store and then torrent it to bring it onto my kindle/phone for reading on the go".

As the DoJ themselves say:
'Apple co-founder Steve Jobs criticized Microsoft’s monopoly and “dirty tactics” in operating systems to target Apple, which prompted the company “to go to the Department of Justice” in hopes of getting Microsoft “to play fair.”
But even at that time, Apple did not face the same types of restrictions it imposes on third parties today; Apple users could use their iPod with a Windows computer, and Microsoft did not charge Apple a 30 percent fee for each song downloaded from Apple’s iTunes store.'
Even apple complained about microsoft's unfair monopoly power, even though the unfair monopolies they faced were nowhere as bad as the ones they are imposing now. That is.... kind of ironic..
Been using Linux computers only for over 5 years. Best decision in my life.
Linux is great I agree! I’m saving up for a pinephone pro so I can have Mobile Linux
I hate Apple. I refuse to buy any of their Phones, Computers, or other technology that they sell.
It’s entirely because of how they act.
Absolutely correct.
IPods were good, but yea everything else is garbage
Same! I even admit that they do make some really good quality products but I'm not buying them from a company like this...
@@geeshta Yes that's true. No denying that Apple revolutionized the smartphone. But now they are too greedy and doing everything possible to slow down innovation. Why? Because they are very afraid to take risks when this current strategy is working very well for them. I mean which other company can release the same exact product year after year for a long time and still attract insane amount growth? Apple today is very bad for tech overall and also terrible for consumers. Add their planned obsolescence plan to that and you are left with a pretty terrible company for consumers.
My opinion as someone who never used ANY apple products since the nineties is, if you don't like apples restrictive platforms, DON'T BUY THEM
Government almost never makes anything better, and in situations like this they are only going after them out of greed, not justice
Exactly. I see alot of people very happy with their apple products, and a lot of people trying to convince them they are in fact nót happy lol
You see when apple does these things and gets away with it, other companies copy them, and then there won't be any proper alternative anymore, even for those who refused to buy apple products. So cracking down on these things now is good.
And they've also made it hard to leave their ecosystem without losing some data
@@Problemsolver434who copied apple on that?
Now when is the right to repair going to come into effect for us here in America, and the little people who are handy and want to save money can fix things easily rather than the corporation saying "NO YOU CAN'T FIX THAT YOURSELF, Bring it to us and it'll only cost you an absurd amount of money!"

It wasn't about not being able to install an alternative to ie on windows. IE supported completely broken and nonstandard html, and MS Frontpage produced websites that only worked in IE. Using a browser other than IE wasn't even an option unless you didn't care about it just not working on maybe 30% of websites. This affected even people who didn't use windows. Back then I used opera and Linux and it sucked so bad that the entire web was written in IE tag soup that only sometimes worked on other browsers.
That's also one of the reasons why IE was "supported" for so long, even after it's popularity tanked with raise of Firefox and chromium based browsers. Hell, even after it was fully replaced by Edge.
One of the biggest clients of Microsoft are corporations and government offices, and those tend to run on software written even 20 years ago. As a result still a significant parts of early WebApps (like CCTV control app in my previous job) are in IE-only compatible swamp-software zone.
I use an iphone and I fucking love it, but I love these developments even more. Let’s hope it gets somewhere
That footage of sheep heading to apple store, soo accurate. lol😂
Nice to hear someone else who believes this should have happened years ago. It is amazing how long they have flown under the radar. It is almost as if their lobbying efforts worked too too well.
I'm still amazed Apple didn't get wiped out by Samsung the way IBM PC got wiped out by generics PCs. A modern smartphone can do just about anything imaginable, I don't think there is any room for innovation that is important.
Actually the smartphone industry is a duopoly. Samsung benefits a lot from Apple's success. They make their displays. Other areas they collaborate as well. Google make deals with Apple too. So the industry is stagnant mainly because they system is rigged by the big companies and its long overdue that something is done about that.
Cant wait for the xz utils glowie backdoor video
I'm wondering where the glowie involvement comes into play for the xz package
What's going on with Apple lately? All of these legal issues or problems with Apple have happened just in the past month.
First they get fined by the EU for €2 billion, then the US DOJ is suing them for the way they block 3rd-party app stores and payment processors on mobile devices, then I find out this week that my M1 Macbook has a side-chain vulnerability that allows it to get hacked if someone physical has possession of it, and then, the other night, I get the "Black Screen of Death" on my iPhone when I attempt to update to iOS v17.4 after reading about how important it is for "security" (I was able to fix it, eventually, by restoring the iPhone from a backup on my Mac).
Is this all coincidence, and Apple is just having a string of bad luck lately, or is something going on?
I applied for an I.T role at an Apple store before. I had an Android phone at the time, but have used iPhone for years prior to that, so I knew my way around both. I didn't get the job because I didn't have an iPhone.
wait. Why didn‘t they just give you one???
damn u got sharted on my man
I mean c'mon man, as much as I hate Apple they do have a good reason to not hire you. If you applied for a McDonalds job and told them you love eating Burger King, why would they hire you?
@@user-og6hl6lv7p really bad and weird example
@@user-og6hl6lv7p I don't think that's a fair comparison. Tech is pretty different from McDonald's and Burger King. As an IT professional, being well-versed in multiple operating systems is actually an asset. It allows you to better understand and assist a wider range of users. The goal is to provide the best possible customer service and technical support. When I applied to the Apple Store, I had years of experience with Apple ecosystem and a deep understanding of the platform. The fact that I was using an Android phone at the time doesn't negate that knowledge or my ability to support iPhone users.
I think a candidate's skills, experience, and enthusiasm for the role should carry more weight than their personal device choices. Judging someone's fit solely based on the current phone in their pocket seems as absurd as a GameStop refusing to hire a gamer because they play on PC instead of Xbox. It's shortsighted.
Not every Apple store does this though. It depends on who is doing the hiring.

I used to use Apple when I was in high school back when iTunes first came out and I had an iPod and iPhone, it was easy to use and I would drag and drop music from Limewire into my iPod. Once they removed that, I was done with Apple. I always called it a Walled Garden after that.

Heard about the sshd backdoor hidden in xz which some dude spent YEARS getting to the point he was maintainer and able to sneak it in? It is INSANE how much effort he went through and how sneaky he was hiding a backdoored object file in binary 'test data' then patching the build so it snipped it out of the test files and linked it so when run as sshd via systemd it could hack a call to an rsa public key checker FOR MALICIOUS PURPOSES probably to install a HARDCODED ALWAYS VALID KEY

Hey there, I enjoy Linux but I am tired of constant debugging and consider getting a macbook. What would you recommend?
iPad Kidz™: **literally seething**
You don't need an iPad to watch brainrot, yt works in Android too :(
Honestly, I'm quite happy that this lawsuit is taking place. And that's with me using a MacBook and an iPad for creative work.
I think there are far too many people who attach their identity to a brand and try to protect that brand as if it were their complete integrity.
The only people affected by this are investors. That's it. AKA people that don't work for their money anyway. And the only further people that get triggered by this are people that invested a lot into the ecosystem and political weirdos that think that keeping companies in check somehow steps over their rights
@@vhateg By all means, investors who multiply their wealth by trading, so "traders" - Yeah, screw them. They don't really add anything to the world (I'm to some extent one of these guys but let's skip over that topic).
The type of investors who invest their wealth into companies who are in need of finance and that are promising to bring something to the world that's ultimately useful to consumers - These people are sadly much needed in our economy now.
There's too much competition to do your own branding, unless you're lucky and are already well known, which generally takes years to get to and is too slow.
But in general, investors who are there solely for the money - These do not introduce much to society. These who actually help companies develop and ship - These are a requirement now.

The ecosystem is the whole point of getting into apple, I knew that when I bought my first iPhone. They are trying to kill what makes Apple Apple. The closed environment IS WHAT WE WANT.
I want apple to be broken apart along with google. My only question is whats preventing these from happening...
>Will foreign companies/countries try to flood the market and replace apple if they're weakened? (Sorta like Walmart with small business.)
>Will foreign companies simply buy up the new companies? (American business should be owned by Americans not only for security but for their interest.)
>Will a foreign companies just buy all the new stocks? (American business stocks should be majority owned by Americans for the same reason.)
I want apple to be broken apart but I also don't want another business or country to simply replace their monopoly or having control of their subsidize.I would think limiting foreign competition until the American technology sector gains a foothold is a good idea but I honestly don't know. Last time we did major monopoly busting like this America was the only king on the hill and now there are a ton of people trying to dethrone us at every chance.
The walled-garden is fine, but it becomes a problem, much like any human things become problems, when Apple wants to make the walled-garden the only thing people should use while telling people outside the garden that they are essentially worthless. There is no one size fits all for humanity and one cannot have everything, but Apple insisted and now they got all kind of wrong attentions. GG WP Apple.

I am the opposite. I won't date people that don't use GrapheneOS. In fact, I just don't go on dates.
I've been an android user for as long as I can remember, and only switched to an iphone because of years-long pressure from family and friends (and family verizon contract), but there really is an argument that people prefer being in the "walled garden;" they *enjoy* being sheep, so let them. If they cared enough about customization and open-source they would've had an android, but regular people (and remember, we watching this channel are definitely not an average person) just don't care and want a "phone that works." Also having the government involved in anything this big is always somewhat fishy and most definitely not motivated by any sense of justice.
I don't know if it is only my problem, but now if you open a word, PowerPoint, etc. document form Teams it opens up using edge even if I set Firefox as the default browser.
the windows 10 debloat script from github can disable that, think there's an equivalent script for windows 11 as well
The fact that no other cloud backup solution then icloud allows you to sync in background is a huge issue.
Google photoes wont sync your photoes until you launch it again even with backround activity allowed. While iCloud works in background.
Apple will never be great unless the change things like their workers conditions of work in Xinjiang. Changing their products it's not enough
How does making the AppStore fees higher threats competition? Isn’t that giving the chance to other companies to at least compite in terms of price with them? Developers could offer the same apps for less in android thanks to Apple
Talk about the xz backdoor that was recently fixed by one guy that was curious because of a 500 ms of delay when ssh

Isn't it 85% of US teenagers using iPhone/iOS? Sounds as close to a monopoly as you can get.
@@endless_puns it's still not a monopoly because anyone can get a samsung or google phone. The whole concept of there being a "stigma" against you if you dont have an iPhone as a teenager, EVEN IF its true, should never be able to hold up in a court of law. This is literally some politician whining to the federal justice system because maybe his son was being made fun of for having a google phone or some shit, it's so dumb.
@@casualintrovert207 I agree that in theory everyone can get an Android. But besides teenagers, this also affects other people who are not as tech savvy and who've only used iPhone. Several of my friends have always had iPhones and are reluctant of switching because of having to re-learn things. Besides, when moving, due to the lock-in from Apple's side, it's not easy to export photos & albums, complete message history and other multimedia. It's literally about making it easier for people to make more choices, maybe the exact wording is not 100% on point but I can't see why anyone would oppose making things easier for consumers.
@@endless_puns yeah but its not ONLY because they're reluctant to switch because they'd have to re-learn. Whether you agree with it or not, people also just actually like and prefer the apple experience. Those of us like myself who are apple users aren't taking part in the apple ecosystem begrudgingly. We LIKE IT this way, and we want to to stay this way, for US. We understand that apple products are designed to work solely with other apple products. Ask any long time apple user and they will say the same things.
Apple phones really are more secure because they restrict the ability to do anything consequential. I think its a great phone for the old and non tech savvy crowd. Some people really need a dumb smartphone not to hurt themselves. They do have good design and software but their prices are completely ridiculous.
The only thing that I like on apple devices are their accessibility features
The App Store one is so true, in the first half of 2023 Microsoft pulled out SwiftKey from the App Store and it was unavailable to download anywhere
It's always sad news when youtube tries to not recommend me Outlaw's channel, funny enough, gotta change to Odyssey.
Hm at least in Signal the quality of videos from a buddy of mine that uses Apple (I have Android) is normal, or is that low quality thing band in the EU (where we live)
I will only be happy of the Department of Justice wins the case, but I believe that this is not enough. I wish that there was pushback against all proprietary software forcing the masses in this country to use GNU/Linux and BSD-based operating systems, which I already believe are more ethical solutions. Also, the addition of backdoors is unethical already, and the only potential for successful ethics is when backdoors have not been implemented at all. This is not just an Apple issue; this is an issue throughout the entire tech ecosystem, and this is also the reason why I am transitioning to Linux on System76 devices to even protest against backdoors from Intel and other companies.
As a linux user myself i fully disagree with you ... we shouldn't force anyone to use anything, just imagine a situation where you could never use linux or bsd because something else was forced, would be terrible wouldn't it
Just because being a vegan who also doesnt root out plants and only eats fallen fruits is ethical doesnt mean that we should force everyone to do it , if it is truly ethical we must convince them not force them
My goal is to only use FOSS software in the future (hopefully). @@ritvikjahagirdar
No one beats the Fed.
Just when you think Apple is getting what's coming to it, they hit you with the malicious compliance, in signature Apple fashion.
cover the xz backdoor please, this was also another great video btw
Brasil mentioned, lets gooo
It's funny. I don't like Apple now as a Linux sysAdmin / full stack dev and FOSS enthusiast, but I also remember disliking Apple from a very young age.
Particularly, even as an elementary schooler, I thought it was bullshit that I had to use iTunes to put shit on and off of my ipod when other devices just had the typical file system accessible via the file explorer.
That also made it difficult to sail the high seas which was important for well, a broke kid (I didn't get an allowance, only hand me downs for stuff).
My dislike for Apple products basically snowballed from years of iTunes disdain
Apple has stooped to the lowest level of making CZcams advertisements that encourage people to max out their Goldman Sachs Apple Card on needless consumer goods complete with an Afro-Ebonics song with the lyrics “I just cashed a check, and I’m going to spend it all on chocolate”.
I thought to myself there is no way that Apple has stooped to this level. In my opinion it is time for the next best thing.
I still have the Info Wars app icon on my iPhone.
What's going on with the XZ backdoor Linux thing?
1:04 the cat biting the laptop. :D He's tryin to tell you bro!!!!
good video and a little sad that the US of probably wont do as much as the EU did against a US company
also got a source for 7:13? ive only ever heard that Android to iMessage communication is over a different more limited protocol (maybe sms i dont remember) and that Android has to compress attachments to fit size limits of said protocol. iOS itself decreasing the quality would be a new apple low i havent heard of yet
You're half right. The point is that apple only allows communication with android devices if said communications go through outdated protocols that impose these restrictions. Like most things, they're trying not to get caught holding the knife. Source: Andriod to android messaging works just fine without any of the quality losses.
Thanks for the video!
I did enjoyed this video and I hope we get rid of greedy megacorps in some way, cause I had enough of it.
