They should focus on fixing the egregious 80ms response time on MacBook screens before thinking about a ‘privacy screen’. Average response time for the industry is around 20ms, while some are under 1ms. Apple is leading the pack for some of the worst response rates in laptops.
It’s not even a drop in the bucket for Tim Cook to personally do. His net worth fluctuates more than a million dollars a day.
I agree. Apple should’ve known that this would eventually bite them in the ass. I’m actually surprised it’s taken this long.
Apple should’ve made it so that consumers really prefer using the App Store and then open up iOS. Steam isn’t the biggest PC gaming platform because it forces people into it, but because it’s the oldest and most feature friendly. While side loading and third party stores are a thing on Android, most people use Google Play Store out of convenience unless the app is banned or priced too high.
Apple will fight this tooth and nail because digital sales are their second biggest revenue stream and growing, more than Mac or iPad. But I don’t see them winning this long term, and once one country wins a suit against Apples closed garden of apps, the rest will follow if Apple doesn’t make worldwide changes.
This is why Apple devices ‘have such good resale value’, because Apple barely has sales.
Windows laptops and Android get deep discounts for sales, making them cheaper to buy new, this resale is low.
People will say the higher resale value is good for them when they want to sell their Apple product, but then thats negated by the fact that Apple has higher prices.
