    I love the ending here:

    9to5Mac’s Take It’s not Apple’s fault that there’s no Apple Watch equivalent on Android. Google bought Fitbit and still hasn’t created something that is good enough to entice Apple Watch users to switch.

    Sure thing buddy, keep drinking that cool aid. In reality Apple probably realized that they would have to face stiff competition without their walled garden to protect them and that would have been a lot less lucrative.

      I’m not entirely sure what Kool-Aid you were implying they’re drinking…?

      “Apple makes apple products in the apple ecosystem. Non-apple ecosystem fails to entice apple users over”

      That’s essentially what you quoted. What part of that is controversial? It’s practically just a dry statement of fact.

      Apple’s anti-competitive practices ensuring that it’s successful within his own ecosystem isn’t a controversial part of that. We know that’s what they do.

      Or maybe I’m just missing something here.
