    This guy doesn’t know what a monopoly is. Adjectivizing Apple is a simplistic way of attacking a big player. Next.

    Maybe Apple will be the corporation that will rule the world in 20 years, no more governments just Apple, the all seeing Apple.

    Apple is a walled garden, and ads delivery gather huge amounts of data to be effective. Apple has a better track record of being a good custodian of consumer data than the competition. Not only that the ad space is monopolized by Google now that Facebook is in decline.

    Apple is not innovating, when’s the last time they announced a new product category? I only recall them launching old products in new colours. That’s what the car industry did before it tanked.

    What worries me is the share apple holds in the stock market. It’s a bubble and I won’t be surprised if apple itself causes a recession.

    It’s really hypocritical of Apple who went out of their way to brag about the privacy changes to now roll out their own ads trying to capitalize on reduced competition. I’m glad someone actually calls them out on this. Regulators are, as always, behind the trend…
