Zuckerberg Critiques Apple's Innovation and Policies
In a recent interview, Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed strong criticism of Apple's innovation trajectory since the iPhone's creation.
While acknowledging the revolutionary impact of the iPhone, he pointed out that Apple has struggled to produce similarly groundbreaking innovations in the past two decades.
He suggested that the company has rested on its laurels after its initial success.
The Meta chief executive highlighted concerns about Apple's restrictive ecosystem and its impact on other tech companies' ability to innovate.
He specifically addressed the limitations placed on peripheral device connectivity and the company's substantial developer fees.
He argued that these policies, hold back industry -wide technological advancement, and primarily serve to boost Apple's bottom line.
Zuckerberg also offered a measured critique of Apple's venture into virtual reality technology, while reflecting on his own company's experience.
He acknowledged the challenges of launching new technologies but maintained that Apple's latest offering fell short of expectations.
Given the company's resources, he suggested that Meta's own virtual reality products provided a more accessible alternative for consumers.
