Exactly, what is the point for me to go back to android to get if I am lucky 3 years of updates when Apple can offer me double the length at the same price. 
 
it's funny over my years, I have actually left android for iPhone and it's honestly a better experience. I still use an android device but for a very limited use case, recording videos, as the thermals for that are much better. Beyond that, its not worth getting an android device because their software update support is that bad whereas I finally parted with my iPhone 8 in September after it wasn't going to be updated anymore. We've been seeing a push to iPhone because and this is in my opinion, people want a device that will last more than two years, which software support side, android fails to deliver, such as the laughable joke that was the pixel pass program.
 
Here has been my personal phone history since my Blackberry 8820. 
Blackberry 8820 HTC Dream Google Nexus 4 iPhone 6s iPhone 8 Samsung S10e (Only used for video these days; the phone functionally was a used for a short time) iPhone 15 Pro Max So my S10e a $749 smartphone hit EOL in April 2023 after a lifespan of 4 years and 1 month with a sole security update about 7 months ago. My iPhone 8 at $849 dollar phone at the time just got today an security update, 6 and a half years later, and 6 months after the last software update. 

Wow... so having a high market share means you are a monopoly apparently. Want to know something funny, that 39.66% of other, shows that Apple indeed does not have a monopoly by definition. By that logic, Boeing has a monopoly too on the 700 series, or that Youtube is the monopoly on video streaming.
 
If you want to see a real monopoly, check out Luxotica. 
 
Also, dear DoJ, We are we going after google next?

Summary
 Japanese camera company Nikon announces that they are purchasing  RED Digital Cinema and that it will become a wholly owned subsidiary.

My thoughts
 I did not have this on my 2024 Bingo card by any longshot. That being said, I hope that Nikon does allow for others to use for instance ProRes Raw internally, and to make it easier for other companies to introduce their own raw formats as they see fit. We all know that RED was very lawsuit happy, so let's also hope that Nikon doesn't follow Reds footsteps and tries to sue anyone who even thinks about wanting to do a raw format.

Epic, of all companies being it’s main competitor to Apple. Tis merely a ruckus laugh. Come back to me with a better argument when Epic forms EpicOS and sells hardware.
 
You do know anyone can get a developers license from Apple. They aren’t special at all. It’s likely that someone noticed that they signed up and it was reported to management.
 
As much as I can’t stand Tim Sweeney who let’s face it has the ego of Jim Jannard, his “we are holier then thou” argument to everything is pitiful and annoying to the point of malicious. Apple has every reason to have concern about Epic not holding up their part of the agreement from their past actions and Sweeney’s emails. 
 
The funniest thing about all of this is that Apple wants an assurance that Epic will act in good faith, because let’s face it, anything that’ll happen, Apple’s going to be sued for. And yet here we are, Epic is having the temper tantrum because Apple wants to know that they will be acting in good faith. 

You do know that with how corporate culture works, Tim Sweeney shouldn’t have told them “I'm writing to tell you that Epic will no longer adhere to Apple's payment processing restrictions.” And then they want to know why Apple can trust them.
