Zuckerberg criticized Apple for not innovating since the iPhone, saying, 'It's like Steve Jobs invented the iPhone and now they're just kind of sitting on it 20 years later.' An emphasis on self-serving developer fees creates barriers for competitors and stifles progress. He pointed out that while products like AirPods are popular, they restrict interoperability with other products, creating a closed-off ecosystem that hinders innovation. This has affected Meta's ability to introduce compatible products like the Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
In discussing Apple's ecosystem, Zuckerberg remarked, 'They've just thoroughly hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone in the same way.' He highlighted concerns over privacy, claiming Apple uses these as a pretext to maintain its closed system and limit competition, ultimately squeezing developers with high fees. This is part of a larger pattern he sees in Apple's approach to dominating the market by restricting access rather than promoting innovation.
