Presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to break up Apple by separating its control of the App Store from its ability to sell its own apps on its marketplace, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts told The Verge editor Nilay Patel in an interview Saturday.
Warren elaborated on what this break up would look like for Apple in her interview with The Verge, saying, there was"no special reason" the company was left out of her Medium post. In the interview, Warren compared the dominance of tech companies to railroad companies which also faced antitrust scrutiny over a century ago.
Nothing to worry about, Tim Apple !
Why
Thank God she did this. She'll never be President! RELIEVED!!!!
Apparently EW hasn’t figured out free enterprise
B.A.T. of China never come under scrutiny. Let’s break em up.
Lol
When did CNBC start tweeting comes?
Break up Apple? Hahahaha very funny joke.
And here the reason why she will not......
She’s insane
That's one way to not get elected.
Please note that Apple stock surged today. I don’t think anyone is worried this will happen.
Really stupid!!!!!!
A Communist
This probably isn't news, since her chances are near 0%.
What the heck? What does this accomplish? Thank god she can’t win. This is just inane.
Lol dumb bich keep wasting money on a campaign you’ll never come close to winning.
Is that why CNBC is endorsing her?
That's 'democracy' for you.
Now I know who not to vote for, but I don’t think she has a chance of making that happen not even in a million years 🤨
Clown
😅So if she becomes president, your 401k will break to few parts
I don't think Apple has anything to worry about.
How dumb is that?!?
But job!
I guess she won't be PRESIDENT!! 🤣
Apple is not the issue! If you don’t even know what’s the problem of this country, why bother running.
She should drop out now. Every day is another desperate grab for votes w/ these ridiculous proposals. And still zero movement in the polls. She’s done.
She won’t be president so this is a good example of “wishful thinking.”
This seems dumb
Oh lady. Please go home and shut up !! Please for all our sake - please stop being silly
You can't fix stupid like this. You just gotta let it run out of words and hope it goes away.
Will she cut up Apple with her tomahawk?
Because of that comment you definitely don’t have my vote, no SenWarren ewarren not voting for you.
I didn't think an indian would ever do this.
I just want to break up if she becomes president.
👀😳
tim_cook this is absolute lunacy. I hope Apple will release a comment on this type of extremism.
Well... since this guarantees u won’t b POTUS... no worries there.
You're just wasting everyone's time. You think anyone will ever trust you again?
Thus women is a complete idiot. Take her back to the reservation.
😂😂
If she becomes POTUS? Only if she is the last person on the planet and then maybe.
No wonder Steve 🍎 is friends with Trump!
Google, FB, Amazon too. They exercise monopolistic competition.
It’s the way.
If she won? She’s like a race horse with two broken legs.
That won't reduce the income inequality,
I def don’t want monopolies, but Dems appear to wanna meddle in our market too much for my taste
whack job for sure...not ussr
What about the big Pharma companies doing more harm !
Keyword 'IF'.
Let’s send her out of the US.
Crazy crank
Elizabeth : I'll break up Apple. Apple : 👀👀👀
Says a women who is illegally using DollyParton 9 to 5 song during her campaign.
Good idea. When I sometimes eat an Apple 🍎 I cut it into 4-6 wedges. It makes it easier to eat. Warren could do the same and then it won’t be Apple anymore $Aapl.
Aloha_Analytics She’s on the sauce again ...
“In her quest to 'break up Big Tech,' Sen. Elizabeth Warren says Apple should not be able to run the App Store and sell its own apps on it.” Dafuq ?
R you living with us on this planet?.
This simply doesn’t make sense. Why can’t a store sell its own products? If I go to McDonald’s I’m expecting to eat a Big Mac, not a foot-long sandwich from Subway.
😂
Are you kidding me? She simply does not understand the free market. God help us all if the likes of her AOC or SenSanders ever gain power in this country getaclue
I don’t think Tim Apple has to worry. She’s got no shot at becoming President.
I guess you could break off the music business, the device business, the computer business, and the App Store and make them all separate companies. However as a diehard Apple user, this makes me sad.
Still don’t see the purpose , it’s not broke . Work on the bullying issue going on down in DC , much more important than messing with companies
Heee heee heee heee! I have a cunning plan in store for all successful American people and companies.... heee heee heee heee! I WILL DESTROY all that is good! Heee heee heee heee!
What’s next? Coke, Boeing? How’s about Congress..it’s a duopoly!
Go ahead. Alienate the big Democrat donors.
The knucklehead wants to break up tech companies to create competition but wants single payer health insurance eliminating completion. What she and the Left really want is absolute control.

How can you break up Apple?
Apple may be big but they are a fairly singularly focused company... breaking them up would just ensure that Americans would all be buying foreign samsung phones immediately after
Apple has already been broken since the departure of Steve Jobs.
Or they could just move over seas and import their product in like Samsung. Let’s just push businesses out.
yo.......... um, no.
Why? She needs to get a clue.
This is not a great idea.
Unsound and unfortunate for the Democratic Party
Actually her breakup plan would make the main Apple shareholders much richer, like Rockefeller when Standard Oil was broken up
I’m guessing she has an android phone?
Ok so low probably event. Next.
Wow eating their own.
Government is corrupt 100%.
The moment liberal Tim Cook became a republican!
She has no shot on winning anyway. I don't think they are sweating this.
There needs to be roles and responsibilities clearly laid out of a President - one has become a wall builder , other a corporate wrecker - got nothing better to do ?
Shows what a Harvard Education is worth...just ignorant and uninformed.
Eerily similar to Atlas Shrugged.
Warren dances on risky ground with Apple breakup plan. Perhaps she could plan a takedown of Big Pharma instead, which is actually doing destruction to democracy.
I don't believe that is in her purvue as president. Now I wont be voting for her. ewarren
Well she just lost my vote
So, we are going to use drums and smoke signals instead of phones? How progressive . Genius
God free us from these Communists forgive Democrats
The Democrat party should be broken up into the politicians who pander, those who are true socialist, and those who truly represent the average hourly worker.
Apple screens apps on the App Store to protect its users. Unlike other companies they actively enforce user privacy and remove apps that don’t respect it.
You can touch my healthcare but you better keep your hands off my technology.
She plans to throw a wrench into one of Apple’s most successful products, it’s App store? The services side of Apple’s ecosystem is its main advantage over its competitors and this would certainly affect their botttom line. She just lost the millennial vote
This is one sick puppy. I bet she has APPLE 🍎 PHONE TOO !
Pretty sure she is not eating the apples but maybe smoking them?
Dummy
Apple is up 2.5% today.
I liked you Elizabeth, but don’t mess with my iPhone.
I bet she has an iPhone! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So break up the CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and all the groceries stores that sell their brand of drugs, cereal and almost every other product in the store. What App Store can sell Apple apps if not on an iOS system. The Dems have gone stupid.
She only has 1/1024th a share of apple. She yearns to be 100%.
Break it up into what exactly?
Come on ewarren. apple is a great American success story. They started in a garage and invented new computers and phones that everyone wants. There will be no incentive for companies to grow big if you have your way.
And she just lost any chance she had to be President... 🤦♂️
Simple solutions for simple minds.
She has bad spirits it’s not going to happen... God will not allow... it’s time for people who make sense vs stupid radicals with tunnel vision
Better watch out! Warren has been ON POINT lately. Whatever or whomever on her team that she’s changed, it’s working 👌🏽
Like DonalddThe she doesn't understand President is not supreme ruler. Those decisions are made in the courts
Zero economic sense. Do we want more jobs to go overseas to competition?
SHE ON THE---WAR PATH------Hiawatha cheek bone s ---run with fire--play in mud-look like loser
Good thing we won’t have to worry about this.
I bet Apple will donate to her campaign.
This is nonsense SenWarren
LOL...sleepless nights at Apple.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄🙄🤥🤥🤥🤥
I suggest you visit UT dorms and tell all the students not to do what Michael Dell did and build a computer in your room as I will come by one day and make you do what I say !
She’s gone off the deep end!
I’ll vote for Trump before I’ll see Apple broken up.. I like the services Apple provides.
Apple basically makes 1 product.. what are you going to break up? The device side vs app/data side?
You lost my vote
She has now eliminated herself from the nomination process.
Beautiful!! Apple supporters are a chain. Lol. Good luck with your desire to become president. Which by the way you would have never become and oh how I love how you all are going down like flys!!
Democrats want to destroy America’s businesses. Fake Indian is too radical
Bat Sh... Cray Cray! 🦇
Why do liberals whose only accomplishments are Detroit and Baltimore think they can change great American businesses into something better
No chance for you
This lady is insane
Reason 132 why she won't win.
That’s because she’s a lemon😡😡😡😡😡😡
You have to make breaking them up a part of a tax increase, billion dollar corps are gonna have Big Tax Bills, but smaller more diverse corps have smaller tax bills, reverse psychology.
Warren makes Trump appealing. “Warren’s 1986 registration card for the State Bar of Texas could put an end to all that. The Washington Post obtained a copy of the signed document in which she wrote that her race was “American Indian.”
We would be much better off if she would break up big goverment first.
Thats stupid. They created the App Store. They own the App Store. She didnt give a compelling argument as to how she would be justified when Apple sued the US. Is her government going to control the App Store and force Apple to work with the gov. to use the product Apple created?
Hahahaha “if”
hell yes!!!!!! gotta love a great PLAN!!!!!!!!!
If she gets the nomination... she is the front-runner for my vote. Bust those Trusts!
A disgrace to the legacy of Massachusetts hi tech innovators during the last 80 years ! Yes the ones who calculated how to get to the moon and back. Get her out of the senate and back to her teepee.
She's still running huh? Bless her heart
Start with the Department of Energy, Department of Education, the United Nations. Companies are just creating jobs and wealth. Stay with government first.
She’s arrogant. We know this. She stole Indian status to fuel her vaulting ambition. Now she has a plan to remake companies of which she knows little. Astounding arrogance. Harvard creep.
Smart, now the worlds richest company will ensure you don’t become president 😂
She's tweets from an iPhone. Let's see if apple bans her from using their products.
Just how many forks are required for her to realize she’s already done..... she doesn’t have 1/1024th of a chance.
She has no chance of winning
Wow. Was a fan of hers before this
Here is my plan for Warren
Apple ain't helping her get elected!🤔
You think she tweets on an Apple device?
