The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down

Since the very first iPhone, the walls of Apple’s meticulously manicured garden have grown ever higher. Now, they’re starting to crumble.

@verge There was no complaint in 2008, why was a problem 10 years later? Remember, some of these apps wouldn't even exist without the #iPhone. #Android wouldn't exist without the iPhone. #Apple knows it, which is why they are so toxic over the entire issue. We built a future that so many didn't envision. Apple should be left alone because at the end of the day, they are still tiny in the overall market share. #Google really is virus if you ask me. It should be 1% market share if I had my way.

@adacosta @verge if you had your way, Apple would have no compelling competitors? Huh.

@mikestevens @verge Pretty much. I just don’t like Google or #Meta having any upper hand here. In fact I think #Google by law should be required to use #webkit on any #Apple device and all their apps and #software on Apple platforms should be heavily neutered of any of its tracking spyware. Why do you think I’m so glad #ChatGPT/CoPilot is winning over #Gemini
