Meta CEO "criticizes" Apple | Dan Tri Newspaper

Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently criticized rival Apple for its lack of creativity over a long period of time.

Specifically, during a nearly 3-hour conversation on the Joe Rogan Podcast, the Facebook boss admitted: "The iPhone is probably one of the most important inventions of all time."

However, he pointed out the harsh reality of the declining sales trend of this product line, evidence that consumers are increasingly hesitant to upgrade to new iPhone products.

"They (Apple) haven't created anything big in a long time. Steve Jobs invented the iPhone and they just sat on that success for 20 years," Zuckerberg shared.

In addition to lacking creativity, Mark also criticized Apple for "sucking blood" from users and partners by charging up to 30% commission fees to developers.

In addition, Zuckerberg expressed dissatisfaction with Apple's difficulty in making it difficult for third parties to access iPhone devices. "They launched superior Airpod product lines. However, they restricted other parties from developing products with similar compatibility," he said.

Zuckerberg recalls being furious when his Ray-Ban Meta Advanced Smart Glasses, which he had put so much effort into, had difficulty connecting to his iPhone.

He accused Apple of "favoring" its accessories to connect easily to devices while leaving competitors "in the dark" about the connection mechanism.

On the podcast, Zuckerberg also shared about the nature of the technology industry.

"The good thing about the technology sector is that it's dynamic, with inventions constantly emerging. I think that businesses, if they don't do anything remarkable for a period of about 10 years, will eventually be beaten by some competitor," he said.

Apple has yet to respond to billionaire Mark Zuckerberg's statements.
