New iPhones

You only buy an iPhone for the software. If Apple let other manufacturers use IOS there would be a level playing field and an iPhone could be as good as an android at any price point but Apple won't let anyone else use IOS and as a monopoly provider they overcharge.

Why should Apple give their software away. Whether you like Apple or not they are a company that intergrates software and hardware and sells that final product to people who want it.

Google is in the business of owning search and thus created android so they could make sure search was prominent on mobile and would not be pushed out by Microsoft. They even pay Apple billions of dollars to remain the default search on iOS.

There is no business gain for Apple to give iOS away.

Apple and some top tier android phone manufacturers make great products and shockingly they both can make money from it by making products that people want to buy. It’s not a crime or a sign of degrading mental health that someone sees value in something that another person can’t.

Apple makes massive profits and pays a larger dividend than any other company. Long may it continue. I live off their profits and the dividends of the world's largest companies. Without their dividends I would have to work for a living.

Yip that’s me out of a conversation with you :rotfl:

Apple have removed all "slow motion" apps from Itunes as they dont allow 3rd party apps when they provide their own version :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

could you give more info as in what your talking about with slow motion apps and itunes don't sell apps the app store does.

Apple have their own version of a music app, camera app, notes app, mapping app and word and spreadsheets apps and other apps but don't stop 3rd party apps from making their own versions. So would help if you could give a link or more info to find out what exactly is going on?
