(Image credit - Unknown) Facebook founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently voiced frustration with Apple during an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast. He accused the company of stalling innovation and exploiting app developers to make up for slowing iPhone sales. Zuckerberg criticised Apple for relying on the iPhone’s legacy rather than pushing new innovations. "Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they're just kind of sitting on it 20 years later," he said. He believes fewer people are buying new iPhones because the upgrades between versions are minimal. Zuckerberg accused Apple of overcharging developers with its 30% App Store fee calling it a way to offset declining iPhone sales. He also criticised Apple for limiting compatibility with third-party devices citing AirPods as an example. "If they , there would probably be much better competitors to AirPods out there," he argued. Discussing Apple’s Vision Pro VR headset, Zuckerberg pointed out its high price tag. "Their $3,500 Vision Pro isn't as good as Meta's much cheaper headset," he said. However, he acknowledged that Apple might improve in future iterations noting, "Their second and third version will probably be better than their first version." Zuckerberg also shared his frustrations over Apple blocking Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses from working seamlessly with iPhones, allegedly citing security concerns. "It's insecure because you didn't build any security into it. And then now you're using that as a justification for why only your product can connect in an easy way," he said. Zuckerberg believes Apple’s lack of innovation could lead to its downfall. He stated, "They'll get beat by someone" as they’re "off their game" in terms of releasing groundbreaking products. The conversation highlights ongoing tension between Meta and Apple with Zuckerberg positioning Meta as a more innovative and open competitor. FAQs Q1.
