Spotify on HomePod pls. This speaker sounds so good for the size there no reason not to do it https://t.co/5E3pk4jHA0

It also doesn't affect the fact that Apple only allows the Safari rendering engine anyway, so even if you can set your default to Chrome....it doesn't actually make it any less anticompetitive

— Owen Williams ⚡ (@ow) February 20, 2020

This is both the right thing to do for users and a good antitrust defensive move. https://t.co/Oz7dML3BY0

Now stop selling the default search engine to Google for $10B+/year, and actually offer users some choices on that during signup, and we're finally getting somewhere!

New story: Apple is considering letting users make third party apps defaults, including to replace Safari and Mail, in iOS 14. It’s also planning native Spotify support for the HomePod and default access in Siri https://t.co/qH68UK1cSO

if Apple allows default browsers and mail clients on iOS 14, you can bet it's related to increasing pressure from US and EU regulators. Also, I bet messaging (iMessage) is not included https://t.co/ogOwBhqkYZ

I do the "no, I actually want to open this link in Firefox" dance on my iPhone several times a day, and it's started to feel quite repressive. Not to mention Apple forbids any non-Safari browser engine (nice monopoly ya got there). Hope this happens:https://t.co/0iZ7psXkM5

This would be a big shift for Apple and underscores the bright antitrust spotlight shining on its practices. Regulators are asking whether the iPhone maker gives its own services unfair prominence on its devices. https://t.co/NkUhuQQ5BS

— Tom Giles (@tsgiles) February 20, 2020

Oh, yeah, and stop bullying app makers into using your outrageously priced payment services for subscription software. Don't let it take @spotify cleaning you out for billions on that gross anti-competitive stance for that to happen.

If true, this is a step in the right direction. But have to point out again, (sorry of this is getting tedious) that there are no 'different browsers' on iOS, just 'skins' over Webkit.

This is pure 90s Microsoft style strangling other browsers https://t.co/22TPnctDCB

New: yesterday bike maker Flywheel closed down after losing a patent lawsuit to rival Peloton.

Court docs were meant to be redacted but we found if you copy+paste it revealed text. Showed Flywheel had something called PROJECT MAGNUM to hunt Peloton info https://t.co/Mj5naLr72r

— Joseph Cox (@josephfcox) February 20, 2020

Yesterday Flywheel announced it was shutting down its home bike service. The reason is because of a completely wild litigation proceeding with Peloton. This is the drama I live forhttps://t.co/ANqWGaqXjE

Interestingly, Flywheel's former CTO, who is now in a senior engineering role at Facebook, said that Villency could be useful to get info for PROJECT MAGNUM. Villency is the designer of the Peloton; implies it wasn't just public info they wanted https://t.co/Mj5naLr72r pic.twitter.com/a03YzGYGr5

From discovery during the patent lawsuit, Peloton discovered PROJECT MAGNUM, which appears to have appeared a lot through internal Flywheel emails. Quoted internal Flywheel message says it was to get "as MUCH secret intel on Peloton as we can" https://t.co/Mj5naLr72r pic.twitter.com/kcFIR4ZlJc
