> Further, Apple has been accused and convicted of orchestrating ebooks price-fixing ($450M fine in 2016) and colluding with other tech companies not to poach each others' employees (another $450M fine for all tech companies involved in 2015). A US jury also found Apple willfully infringed VirnetX's IP's (ie, facetime VPN OD). So yeah, sure, Apple, however big or successful, is fully capable of engaging in unethical, anti-competitive/trust, illegal activities to gain advantage over others.
Sadly, at this point, this is par for the course for any corporation. This is simply what they do. It comes with the territory.
These types of discussions always devolve into this whataboutism that really is a bottomless pit. Ultimately corporations must engage in unethical behaviors as they are incentivized to. I bet qualcomm's closet is just as full of skeletons.
Won't change until the US and China start governing corporations properly.
