1) Fate, it would seem, is not without a sense of irony. - Morpheus in The Matrix ATT leading to iOS share loss to Android b/c developers start making more money on Android than iOS and prioritizing accordingly would be quite ironic. Unlikely, but possible.
Not sure a lack of any apps on iOS would drive me to Android. Too much humiliation results from having green background when texting haha
Longterm dont we just end up in a world with primarily contextual advertising like the old days? It seems like the efficacy is nearly as good, limits G/FB market monopolization, users will prefer it, and its clearly more ethical.
Funny you post that Gavin, Ive been thinking about starting an HR Management AI SaaS company called Matrix. And a Robotics/AI company called Cyberdyne. You in?
7) Advertisers front-loaded spending in Q2 ahead of ATT which rolled out slowly so are just beginning to see any ATT impact - July and August will be interesting.
6) And then from Singular Great stuff from WSJ article from on spending shifting to Android. And how far behind reality US regulators are. Vestager at least focusing on the right factors - i.e. using privacy as a cover for abuse of market power and advantaging apps owned by the platform.
2) Can only imagine how happy this would make some of the loudest corporate critics of ATT. Interesting to see how alliances and incentives amongst mega-cap tech cos are shifting in response to ATT today with XR on the horizon as a potential platform shift.
