So overdue! We are a Samsung/Amazon family and I realized "the fix was in" last year when I  couldn't even get a charging cable for my Samsung at Costco ( they sell the phones and yes, I know that now they use the same input) because they didn't carry it ( but they had several choices for Apple).

Isn't that Costco's fault?  Why don't they carry the cables.  They are readily available at the dollar store and elsewhere.

Costco sells Keurig coffee makers and the pods.  They also sell Nespresso, but not the pods.

The same coffee pods won't fit both machines.

In both cases, the fault is with Costco, not Apple or Keurig.

I have been an Apple user since 1999.  DOJ has a very strong case.  Since both have very deep pockets ($$$), Apple can drag out a court case for decades through appeals if they lose. 

Hopefully, this will be settled out of court by Apple lowering their prices on ALL their products (OS & iOS) not just for iPhones.

Thank God I never got sucked into the Apple cult!

@cheriere  Download the ZOOM app for Mac.  You will be able to ZOOM/Facetime w/the Androids users.

Very few of my family members are Apple users.

FREE  Download  zoom.us/download?os=mac

App Store wants $4.99.

Thank you!💝. I didn't even know about this.  I really appreciate you.🌸

@Kachina624   There's no cell service where I live.  Apple phones allow texts and FaceTime to ALWAYS go through as long as the other person is using an iPhone.  Android's don't do this.

I’d love to see lower prices but I’m not sure about the basis for this lawsuit because it’s not like people don’t have other choices.

I text with non-apple phones all the time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ No one cares.

And if Costco doesn’t carry what you need for your Samsung, why don’t you blame Costco?

Apple isn’t a cult. 🤣

@cheriere.  Hmm, I wonder how they do that? Do they have a satellite?  I didn't know that.

Yep, they sure can.  I do have WiFi.  I didn't know this was the case either until my best friend gave me her daughter's old iPhone lol.  Now, I'm hooked!  I've purchased two myself since then.

Is it April 1st already? This information has got to be at least 20 years old.  For as long as I can remember it's always been "Apple's way or the highway".  Apple's gatekeeping and Ironclad rules is what made me choose Android decades ago.  In the tech world, Apple was considered the best for people who didn't want or care to have choices and options.  Android gives the user the reins to have freedom to make choices and changes. I've never cared for Apple's our way or the highway mentality and I appreciate the fact that Android lets people make it their own. Same way with my Samsung Galaxy 6 Classic watch.  There is something for everyone.
