Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, harshly criticized the Joe Rogan Experience podcast AppleThe main topics that the Met pilot addressed were fees in App Store, lack of innovation, a closed ecosystem and even products such as AirPods or Vision Pro.
Zuckerberg focused on 15-30% fees, which Apple collects from developers for applications in App Store. According to him Apple is using these fees as a cover for declining iPhone sales.”Apple hasn't brought anything groundbreaking for a long time. Steve Jobs invented iPhone and it's just been sitting on it ever since". He also mentioned that users due to miniDue to minor changes between iPhone generations, they delay upgrades, which leads to stagnant sales.

Zuckerberg also criticized the closed nature of the ecosystem Applu and its exclusive technologies, which, for example, enable easy connection AirPods with iPhones. "Apple built protocols that make it difficult to compete. If they allowed other manufacturers the same access, we could have better products than AirPods.” He mentioned that Meta was trying to achieve better integration of its Ray-Ban smart glasses with iPhones, but Apple He rejected this approach on the grounds that it would compromise user security.
Zuckerberg didn't leave the AR/VR headset alone Apple Vision Pro, which he described as a weaker product compared to Meta's Quest. "Prothey're offering it for $3,500, but I don't think it's any better than what we're offering for $300 or $400."However, he acknowledged that the next generation Vision Pro could bring significant improvements.

Zuckerberg concluded that Apple will soon be surpassed by another company. "Their pace of innovation has slowed. While they used to set the pace, they are now more likely to catch up with the competition.". At the same time, he expressed concerns that Apple one day it will launch its own smart glasses that will outperform the competition thanks to better integration with iPhones.
The interview with Joe Rogan thus showed not only the tension between Meta and Applem, but also Zuckerberg's effort to portray Meta as a major player in innovative technologies. While some of the statements can probably be agreed with, some of the statements were perhaps unnecessary. You can find the full interview below the paragraph.
Good morning
In my opinion, he is both right and wrong.
Innovations are still there, but for ordinary users, most of whom don't have the "wow effect", then I dare say that we really have no reason to innovate devices so often and sales may stagnate. On the other hand, what is so "wow" these days that I absolutely need to implement it on my phone?
However Apple It has something that other manufacturers don't have yet. The support and updates mentioned many times. A closed system is exactly what I want and not to have a phone full of junk.
And even though I really like this manufacturer's system, I can name a bunch of things that bother me.
For example, at the end of the year I was switching from iPhone 8 to iPad Pro 2017 for new versions iPhone 16 Pro a iPad Pro 2024 and for me there are a lot of innovations there.
Samsung and Pixel have 7 years of support, which is more than AppleThey also have a lot more innovations. So what don't they have?
They don't have a closed system that isn't full of the mess of the mobile manufacturer, Google and third parties. Just like when you buy a laptop full of bloatware and it's slow because of a bunch of crap that a normal person doesn't need. So the phones you mentioned have the main problem called Android ♂️ 🤦
MetaBerg is really funny….
1) Even if the last revolutionary product iPhone, so what groundbreaking thing has Meta come up with lately? Facebook has been stagnant for a long time, it is riddled with advertising so much that it no longer resembles a social network, Threads is just another copy of other networks.
2) They have a lot to say about the closed system and exclusivity. Their exclusive Assassin's Creed Nexus caused it to be a financial failure because it didn't get anywhere else. And that he thinks closedness is bad? That's why it works the way it does, so don't play around with the EU.
3) Vision Maybe it didn't have such a success because of the price, but it definitely brought a lot of interesting things. What was interesting about their glasses? Nothing, they just keep copying from others.
Vision It was not a success not only because of the price, but especially because of the catastrophic lack of content and the complete impracticality of the execution.
I'm sorry, but Vision I have it and while I agree with the lack of content, I disagree with the price, which is adequate, but what I don't understand at all is the impracticality of the design. What specifically do you get when using it? Vision Did it seem impractical? Thanks a lot for the info, I'm quite interested.
RomanWell, you won't know, he heard it somewhere and now he's repeating it, do you think Vision own or at least used for a few weeks?
Well, dragging a heavy monster on your head probably won't be very comfortable and they mention it in many reviews. Also, the battery life is terrible, etc. I'm sorry, but this didn't work out very well.
Zdeněk, so you've never seen or had the product, but do you know how convenient it is to use it? Well, the battery life is 2,5 hours, which has always been more than enough for me, as well as for everyone I know who has it. Heavy? It's really nothing that weighs on your head or makes you feel extra weight. What I love most is people who rate something they've never seen in their life :D
Zuckerberg should rather hide somewhere in the bushes with his HoaxBook, crawling with disinformers, hoaxes and unmoderated comments full of vulgarity and insults. His entire success is based on theft, first he stole the idea for a social network from his "employers" and then the data of its users, which he then sold to third parties.., for example for manipulating elections. He failed to come up with anything new and useful with FB itself and gradually brought it to its current almost unusable state, where normal users use it only to read posts in one of the few (very few) normal groups. Most people have long since shared photos and videos "from life", as well as their own thoughts, elsewhere. For me, Zuckerberg is a real-life equivalent of Lex Luthor and a person who has absolutely no right to comment on other companies, let alone moralize. 🤮
But now you've managed to change the world with this comment... Mom must be proud :-)
And what did Cukřík bring? Things from AppI use it gladly and voluntarily, Facebook I only use it out of necessity, lately there have been millions of ads, posts that don't interest me, sorting by God knows what, lack of clarity. And if Cukřík minded the fee in App Store, after all, he doesn't have to have anything there, he can make his own HW and his own OS. And as for the closedness, on iOS It's a great thing and I hope it stays that way and macOS is not closed by chance.
And a lot of developers outside the EU have their apps on App Store also only out of compulsion, because they have no other choice.
Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter …. I don't have one and so far I haven't been in a situation where I felt like I should have one …
Apple I have had it since the iPhone 4 and the first iPad and the first MB.Air and then the iMac ... and since then the whole household, work workflow, etc. have been running on it ... it works, the product lifecycle is completely satisfactory without any reason to change it every now and then and I only switch to a new product when the old one dies, which is in the 5+ year horizon for phones and my iMac is from 2015 and it works to my full satisfaction, even if it sometimes starts to choke (about the same as an average new NB with Windows ;) ), the closed ecosystem is completely satisfactory and I hope that Apple resist the pressure to open it...
Which is good for me....
