Friday February 28, 2025 10:08 am PST by
iPhone 16e reviews are now out, and Apple's custom-designed C1 modem has been put to the test. The results so far are quite surprising, as the C1's speeds are not as slow compared to Qualcomm modems as originally expected. While the C1 does not support ultra-fast mmWave 5G in the U.S., it appears to offer comparable 5G performance to Qualcomm's Snapdragon X71 modem found in the iPhone 16,...

active iPhones, iPads, Macs, and other Apple devices worldwide
active I assume means devices with an internet connection, right? or would it include eg AirPods? Though no direct internet, I assume those being paired and used might get counted?

That is a legit criticism of Apple that is being thrown around here - that Apple has so small a market share that they run the risk of irrelevancy any day now.

Maybe you and the other guy could get together and trash out your takes to come out with a single, more internally consistent narrative, IMO. Apple is somehow perennially one flop away from failure, while also being large enough to warrant regulation.

One of Bill Gates' arguments in the 1990s was that Microsoft was one bad Windows/OS release away from potential failure and therefore didn't deserve antitrust scrutiny. However, that didn't mean then nor does it mean today that a company with significant market power, control, influence, etc. should be immune to regulation or be allowed to engage in anticompetitive behavior. Just because a company may fail or become irrelevant in the future doesn't mean they should be exempt from laws in the present.

Apple currently has significant market power, control, influence, etc. in the mobile OS and app store markets and deserves antitrust/competition law scrutiny.
