British CMA: Apple and Google firmly control mobile phone users, everyone has no choice

Smart phones have become an indispensable part of our lives, and we use them to complete work, entertainment, socializing and other needs every day. However, as far as the entire mobile phone market is concerned, the vast majority of people use Apple or Android systems, which makes some regulators worry about this.

   Recently, some media reported that the British antitrust agency “Competition and Market Authority” (CMA) issued a report stating that Google and Apple had firm control over how users use mobile phones, depriving users of any meaningful choices. CMA said that Apple and Google have formed their own ecosystems through multiple products such as operating systems, application stores, and web browsers. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for other companies to enter a new system and compete meaningfully with it. At the same time, CMA believes that such control may limit innovation and choice, and lead to higher prices, which is not good news for users.
   However, both Apple and Google stated that the reasons for these control measures are to ensure the safety and quality of the overall service provided to users, and in some cases to protect users’ personal information. In this regard, CMA proposed some options that may solve the problem, including making it easier for users to switch between Apple and Google mobile systems, but without losing functions and data.CELL PHONE BATTERIES – Shop a wide selection of  cell phone Batteries at www.oriccabattery.co.uk Fast Shipping.
