This is like a bully sitting on your chest controlling your arms going ‘don't punch your face!’. You preinstall Apple Music on a billion+ devices, undercut your competitors on a subsidized price they can never match, boost yourself with illegal anticompetitive features and entitlements and systemwide ad spots, regularly stall them from submitting updates, and then complain they don't innovate enough??

I'm seriously about ready for this company to burn to the ground

@stroughtonsmith Are we forgetting that Spotify is still available on android, and holds majority market share? When you consider that Spotify is refusing to release an app for the Vision Pro, it makes sense for Apple to have their own music streaming service and not be wholly reliant on a third party for such a critical piece of infrastructure (think maps saga). Spotify has only their own unsustainable business model to blame.
