I like the commentary about how the big tech companies are becoming monopolies.

I think Apple not letting us choose the default browser, mail, and maps to be in a small way anti competitive. I am concerned this will eventually be the way MacOS will go.

But Apple does let the default browser be changed. Same with the email app. And maps? Google Maps works fine… There’s just no Google Maps app for the Mac… Or are you referring to Catalina? I haven’t upgraded to that one yet… So are those changes to expect for Catalina?

Sorry I should have been clearer… I was talking about iOS.

Oh! Ok I’m not as familiar with iOS. I’ll dive into my iPad later.

Interested in the hearing aid discussion. My wife and I both got hearing aids recently and the total cost for both of us to get middle of the road hearing aids was over $7000. This industry needs some competition and opening it up to OTC hearing aids that are less costly is a step in the right direction. I would love to see Apple get into this market with a combo hearing aid health and fitness device.
