What If Apple Used Their Cash To Buy T-Mobile Or... →
parislemon:
A nice thought by former Apple executive Jean-Louis Gassée, but not gonna happen.
Even if Apple was able to pass regulatory scrutiny for this (they’d argue that they’d still work with Verizon and AT&T and that Android is closer to a monopoly), such an undertaking would undoubtedly be a massive headache for Apple just from a logistics perspective.
