Comment on Apple becomes third company in history to crack $4 trillion market value

I mean, I don’t disagree, but Google is just as awful and most people only really have a choice between an Android phone and an iPhone so not “supporting” one or the other isn’t really an option for most people who, you know, want a phone.

The open source community could really shove it to Apple and Google by figuring that out.
Last I recall, a lot of mobile hardware requires proprietary firmware and drivers that make OSS work here really difficult.

And then there’s fabrication. Where are you going to build your components and assemble the products?

There is smaller companies creating phones, if they would have the option of an mature open source os, I’m sure companies like fair phone or shift phone would make the switch.
