Apple fights to keep DOJ antitrust suit from reaching trial

I see apple as like LVMH, but for phones. It has a minority of overall sales, but a majority of the “luxury” part of the market. This gives them influence over the whole market, but not a real monopoly.

It's strange how they've convinced people that, considering there's nothing at all luxurious about their products, not even the price...

What's luxurious about Apple products is that they tend to respect your time

Of all the things they do, that is not one of them. How long does it take from pressing a folder to showing its contents on iOS? How much faster would all of it be without a fancy fade in/out animation? or shrink to dock, or anything else in the UI that takes longer than it has to because it looks cooler that way.
