re: Marques Brownlee explains the Apple Antitrust lawsuit

My non-lawyer take is that most all of everyone's statements are true at the same time:

-Apple is kinda getting hosed here. They built a superior product and marketed da fuq outta it. It's the most popular phone/messagine (with imessage) platform in the US.
-Google/android users do get hosed somewhat that apple users are locked into imessage which always screws up messaging to android users aka sms/mms.
-If the roles were reversed, both companies would be doing the same thing, just reversed.

-At the end of the day, I personally, don't see imessage as a monopoly. It's part of the ecosystem within apple's phones. There are clear alternatives out there to an iphone. The consumer has spoken within the US market so it shouldn't be on apple to play nice with opponents. Competitors should merely do better or build a better product in order to make Apple the inferior product.

It's called competition by innovation to me. Google/Android seems, again, to me, to be trying to bitch smack Apple but by the Govt's hand. That leads to a slippery slope.

ETA: In full disclosure, I'm an apple user and my whole family is too. That being said, I also use an nVidia Shield TV and have had android phones. I like the product, I just like Apple for my family/kids a bit better. They both do things really well and have both spurred innovation from each other.
