Winning Capitalism should result in some degree of nationalization.

I have to agree somewhat with the DOJ on this . After living outside the us in Europe long time and then returning home and getting an iPhone , I’d have to say I immediately noticed how much there is a lock in of services like the fact you have to have a active credit card enrolled and you can’t get free apps to download on the AppStore . Probably why the EU is always suing them . I feel like if I buy an iPhone outright unlocked that then becomes my property . I can understand security issues with sideloading and companies that compromise your data by not making security paramount , but I think consumers should have freedom of choice in every way . I do prefer WhatsApp over iMessage and I also prefer gmail over the  mail app, but I also understand the chaos that would ensue on an iPhone if everything was just open

@tm7517 Месяц назад

Then don’t buy an iPhone. This is bizarre to me. Like yall know other phones exist. Apple can’t stop you from buying them.

@mikemcclure3376 Месяц назад

@@tm7517 I keep an android phone always . For ease of use because of family I have an iPhone for iMessage and FaceTime purposes .

@dtbeach Месяц назад

I’m not advocating for Apple. But I’ve never seen an advertisement on the settings screen??? Lost help me.

@MorbidGod391 Месяц назад

45:16 that’s been my point. Selling TikTok doesn’t solve all of these problems. It only solves one potential issue.

To Nilay's point about Disney "being a champion of American values" - to an extent I think that's true, Disney IS a champion of American values. The thing is, that is not at all the same thing as having the best interests of Americans at heart.

@suvansh29 Месяц назад

Here’s a bright idea, how about a centralised institution working for public interest create a unified payments interface (UPI) framework and all these companies can make client applications that plug into this UPI. All the user has to do is select one wallet application based on the features provided, no matter the bank account. America does so many simple things in a stupidly hard way…. Also we don’t have super apps here in India, there is probably more competition in this domain compared to the USA..

14:00 it’s actually a lot of work to change banks - but if all banks do this, then you will have less choice.

@MorbidGod391 Месяц назад

11:03 what ads are you seeing on the settings screen?

@skyguardian1 Месяц назад

Every time you get a new iPhone there are constant pop ups in the setting screen for apple services 3 free month of Apple TV or apple new or Apple Arcade. Those are ads!

@vastlylocal6584 Месяц назад

I think they are talking about when you first set up your iPhone you get the prompts to set up siri, sign up for Apple music, Apple tv and subscribe to more icloud storage. At least that is what I think.

@izakshuvo8434 Месяц назад

The Nike thing aswell 😅

@ZackRappMusic Месяц назад

@@vastlylocal6584if that’s what they mean, that is so disingenuous to equate those to seeing, let’s say, a prompt to sign up for RU-vid premium on the same screen. They’re apple’s own services, you can decline them and move on if you so choose. Why on God’s green earth anyone would want to open up the settings screen to 3rd party ads is so far beyond me.

@ChompChunk Месяц назад

wait why is there no video?

Only the Friday Vergecasts have full video.

Have you guys never used Android? There's no wallet lock-in, so why would it happen with iOS?

@rhietpas Месяц назад

I kept wanting to scream through my headphones to just use Android as an example.

@RudeCanine Месяц назад

Speaking of getting funding, where does one even go to get some? Like no joke, my team and I have a product we would like to pitch and we already have a prototype.

@ZackRappMusic Месяц назад

Am I taking crazy pills? There are no ads on the iPhone settings screen. Where are these ads that everyone seems to agree are there?

Keep in Mind TikTok will not be banned

@AcronymAbuser Месяц назад

“Is the government’s job to govern what I look at on my phone?” 40:08 No, BUT: we have decided that it is the government’s job to place and enforce restrictions on who can own and operate media platforms and tools in our “digital space.” What we see on our devices is downstream from this, of course, but this is principally different than deciding the government has carte blanche authority to deny digital access to any and all materials it finds objectionable. Tik Tok could be banned from distribution on the app store or other US based services, but the US government would not have the power or authority to stop citizens from accessing it through other means.

So obviously there is a reason vergecast is on the main channel. I would love for you to explain in more detail why? I’m curious, and the verge is so big I’m sure there is a smart reason for it.

@Flor-ian Месяц назад

They did this look back to when it first started showing up on the main.

@robertwilcox9566 Месяц назад

People being frustrated over this is honestly pretty funny

@izakshuvo8434 Месяц назад

I don't anything but I guess RU-vid made changes in the background or were supposed to with audio apps and stuff 😅

@t_yler Месяц назад

It has to do with how RU-vid handles podcasts. You can subscribe to the vergecast playlist or the channel as a whole

9:10 both of those examples are non examples though. You can have cloud gaming apps now and will have RCS this year probably with iOS 18.

@skyguardian1 Месяц назад

Yes and no! This was not done willingly by Apple. For cloud gaming you can only do it on the web you cannot install and cloud gaming app unless your in Europe! For RCS they only announce that recently because they are receiving this lawsuit from the doj

@madhavdhilip Месяц назад

It happened because of regulatory pressures and not despite them. It's proof that regulations work and are necessary.

@BoJoFohPah Месяц назад

When you walk down the street and see a group of kids dancing in front of a phone or people you talk to mindlessly swiping up on their phone mid conversation you figure out just why Tiktok needs to be banned
