Apple just gave the most amazing boost for Edge

<blockquote><a href="#280932"><em>In reply to ghostrider:</em></a></blockquote><p><br></p><p>Probably a boost, depending on how Apple touts this. Reality is most iOS users use Windows, not Mac. Apple recommending Edge on Windows is big. iOS accounts for most of the money spent on tablets and phones (yes, more Androids are sold, but at $200 a pop versus $750 for iPhone) and most iPhone users are likely to spend decent money on a laptop, PC or Mac.</p><p><br></p><p>I expect future pushes are going to focus on privacy concerns. Apple and Microsoft could push hard against Google on privacy – and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a coalition of sorts between the two over privacy.</p><p><br></p><p>Fact is they both could create privacy standards in their OSes. Apple could outright block Chrome in the App Store. Microsoft won't be able to block Chrome, but they could have a warning and issue standards for all web browsers for how to avoid a privacy warning. That's what I'd do – issue a privacy warning and put pressure on Google to care about it. MS could do that when implementing GPDR standards across their product line. </p><p><br></p>
