Part 3/9:
Zuckerberg’s choice to publicly take aim at Apple could be seen as strategic, according to some commentators. While Apple is a massive tech company, Zuckerberg's Meta (formerly Facebook) is only about half its size, leading critics like Tom to question the wisdom of choosing such a formidable adversary. Tom argued that Apple has significant influence over Meta’s platforms such as Instagram, making it a risky move for Zuckerberg.
Still, Adam countered, suggesting that Zuckerberg’s comments were an example of "punching up" at a $3 trillion company. He also pointed out that with criticisms aimed at Apple’s App Store practices, Zuckerberg was addressing real concerns developers have regarding their dependence on Apple's ecosystem.
