Zuckerberg Criticizes Apple's Innovation and Rules

In a recent podcast interview, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg criticized Apple for its lack of innovation and what he termed 'random rules' that hinder competition. He expressed that Apple has not released any groundbreaking products since the iPhone, which was introduced over 20 years ago, and noted that current iPhone models do not offer significant improvements, leading to declining sales. Zuckerberg claimed Apple compensates for this decline by imposing a 30% commission on app developers and limiting the compatibility of third-party devices, such as AirPods. He suggested that improved security protocols could allow better integration with other devices, countering Apple's argument that its rules protect user privacy. Furthermore, he took a jab at Apple's Vision Pro headset, stating that it fell short of expectations and did not perform well in sales. Overall, Zuckerberg believes that relaxing its stringent policies could significantly enhance Meta's profits.
