Even if that’s dropped to two-thirds or something, it’s still amazing. Three quarters! Samsung was taking almost a quarter and everyone else practically nothing. Holy cats.Ībout three quarters of the profit in the smartphone business.

Which it still dominates.Īlso, even loosely suggesting Apple license iOS? HILARIOUS.Īpple would be wise to look back two decades when it was locked in a war to control the personal computer market with IBM. Uh, when did Apple dominate the smartphone market? The only thing it’s ever dominated is profit share. That was fine when Apple dominated the smartphone market but it’s downright foolish now. It has also refused to allow other phone makers to use its iOS, meaning that only Apple products can access iTunes and the iOS app store. Totally! It’s like no one even notices when Apple announces a new product anymore! And if Apple doesn’t do something quick, it might take them a long time to sell out on tickets to WWDC. At the height of the iPhone craze a few years ago it was understandable that Apple could get away with maintaining such an aloof stance. Now, Apple isn’t even showing up at MacWorld, preferring to unveil its new products on its own schedule. Only by destroying the business model Apple used to get on top will Apple stay on top! Quick, huff this helium! Then it makes total sense!įor the past two decades, it has eschewed the mega conference, participating in MacWorld instead. While the process frequently stinks for developers, what doesn’t stink is that Apple’s customers don’t mind paying for things, unlike their Android-using counterparts.Ī radical departure by chief executive Tim Cook is needed fast if Apple is going to stay on top. But it’s not like its flaws are exactly hurting the platform.
OK, yes, even the Macalope has remarked on how Apple could do a much better job in making the app submission and approval process easier for developers. The back and forth in recent days about a cheaper iPhone belies what may be a much larger problem for the world’s dominant gadget maker: Apple seems to be repeating a mistake it made nearly two decades ago by making it difficult for developers and peripheral makers to work with the company.
