The free enterprise system and the marketplace is specifically designed to “give the profits” to companies who meet the needs of their customers. If you’ve got a product that is better than Apple’s products, then make it, and when you prove it’s better than Apple’s, you’ll have me buying it. It’s that simple!

I do buy products that are better than Apple products. They do not limit me and they do not support liberalism with comments like Cook's. In fact, they fight for privacy.

Then your criteria is different than the majority of smartphone users in the USA ... we can say that much ... as Apple is the Number One smartphone manufacturer in the USA.

And that’s fine if your criteria is different than the majority ... in any other manufacturer ... you gotta give those other product makers “some money” even if they do have an inferior product. I mean the fact that Apple has 93% of the smartphone market’s profits (and that’s for ALL smartphones on the market) ... says that the vast majority of money from consumers is going to Apple!

And, I don’t care if you want to buy that other product ... it’s you that suffering and not me ... LOL ...
