@reckless @verge @BuzzFeed @WIRED @voxmediainc You confuse the fact that Apple is large and rich with the issue of share dominance. It’s <15% in smartphones globally; and far behind competitors in PC share, music subscriptions, set-top boxes, and more. It dominates in tablets, smartwatches, and, I guess, in wireless earbuds. — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless @verge @BuzzFeed @WIRED Speaking as a shareholder, I want @voxmediainc to continue to be honest and honorable, but also to leverage innovation for its own benefit. And, I repeat, you the dominant mobile platform is Android, owned by the company that’s also the dominant search and maps and mail platform. — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless A “duty” to the market? Maybe the industry has a duty to improve the BT audio spec. Maybe Android, by far the dominant platform, has a duty to do better. Does @verge have a duty to share its innovative reporting and design techniques with @BuzzFeed? @WIRED? — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless And by “Alexa tech”, I mean the literal tech that makes the product work, not Alexa as a licensed product… https://t.co/o9xKuq6lkQ — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@reckless You can argue fairly that the platforms are too powerful. They are. But in this case, Apple hasn’t blocked AirPods or iPhones from working with non-Apple products using industry-standard Bluetooth norms. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@reckless Competition and innovation are healthy. So why should Apple share its wireless earbud tech? Should Google be required to share its computational photo tech? Amazon its Alexa tech? — PolitiTweet.org

For the 1st time in years, I just watched “Joe Versus the Volcano”, the absurd but charming 1990 first pairing of ⁦Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, who plays 3 roles. It’s thin and culturally crude. But it’s the foundation for the great “Sleepless in Seattle.” https://t.co/eeDDIYII6S — PolitiTweet.org

@JoannaStern @Apple @DowJones @WSJ @verge @Recode @voxmediainc By the way, everyone should watch your great video and explainer on AirPower. I loved them. Super smart and super creative as always. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@JoannaStern @Apple @DowJones @WSJ I had to do that at @Verge and @Recode whenever Comcast or NBC came up because they were investors in parent company @voxmediainc. It’s the right thing to do, but a hassle. Still, these guys came up way less often than Apple in tech pieces. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@JoannaStern Joanna, you have both my admiration for your ethics, and my sympathy for the hassle, of having to include a disclaimer when discussing @Apple now that @DowJones has a deal to include the @WSJ in Apple News +. Luckily, as a tech writer, you don’t mention @Apple much, right? — PolitiTweet.org
