    One reason so many people love Apple’s products is that they’re high quality and the company mostly deserves your trust.

    This week, a court ordered Apple to stop selling watch devices as long as they infringed on Masimo’s patented technology.

    Apple essentially goaded Masimo into a legal fight, generated attention for itself and defended to the hilt a smartwatch feature that most people wouldn’t use regularly.

    Apple will keep collecting a chunk of your Peloton subscription fee forever — all because you followed a link from an iPhone app once.

    It’s a good bet that some companies will raise their prices for digital purchases to offset Apple’s commissions.

    John Gruber, a longtime technology blogger who often sides with Apple, wrote that the company’s move “reeks of greed and avarice” and risks angering regulators and politicians.
