They build stuff like AirPods, which are cool, but they've just thoroughly... hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone in the same way. So, I mean, there are a lot of other companies in the world that would be able to build like a very good earbud, but it just, um,

Apple has a specific protocol that they've built into the iPhone that allows AirPods to basically connect to it. And it's just much more seamless because they've enabled that, but they don't let anyone else use the protocol. If they did, there would probably be much better competitors to AirPods out there.

And whenever you push on this, they get super touchy and they basically wrap their defense of it in, well, if we let other companies plug into our thing, then that would violate people's privacy and security. It's like, no, just do a better job designing the protocol. We basically asked them for the Ray-Ban metaglasses that we built.

Can we basically use the protocol that you use for AirPod and some of these other things to just make it so we can as easily connect? So it's not like, you know, a pain in the ass for people who want to use this and I think one of the protocols they've used that they built, they basically didn't encrypt it. So it's like plain text.

And they're like, well, we can't have you plug into it because it would be insecure. It's like it's insecure because you didn't build any security into it. And then now you're using that as a justification for why only your product can connect in an easy way. It's like the whole thing is kind of wild.

Um, and I'm pretty optimistic that just because they've been so off their game in terms of not really releasing many innovative things that eventually, I mean, the good news about the tech industry is it's like, it's just super dynamic and things are constantly getting invented. And I think companies, if you just don't do a good job for like 10 years, eventually you're I don't know.

I mean, at some point I did this like back of the envelope calculation of like all the random rules that Apple puts out. If, you know, if they didn't apply, like I think, you know, it's like, and this is just meta, I think we like make twice as much profit or something. And that's just us.
