iPhone風暴直捲全港，鮮有科技產品像iPhone一般，可以輪流登上大眾媒體的封面，形勢之強，就連某位法學副教授亦於報章撰文，指出由3hk獨家綑綁銷售iPhone，本質上有反競爭法行為之嫌。
教授話，香港唔少人反對制訂競爭法，但這班反對者，是否知道自己已淪為壟斷行為的犧牲品？其言下之意，若以港式粵語說出來，便是：「你班買iPhone既傻仔，比人搵左老襯都唔知咩事！」
教授果然料事如神，思哲手上的iPhone，雖然效能奇佳，然而在地底或樓梯，接收偶然不好，斷起線來我便火光：「都係綑綁銷售的錯！我根本無得揀，班水貨商食水咁深，大拿拿萬幾蚊一部水貨，小市民邊度有得揀丫！」
我異常佩服教授的先見之明，一語道出我們都是傻仔的真相，他並提出了綑綁銷售的四大條件：
（一）牽涉兩種商品
（二）得先買一種，方能購買另一種
（三）綑綁商品擁有市場壟斷地位
（四）被綑綁商品受到實質的影響
按照以上的規則，我猜教授一定沒有購買iPhone，否則他精神不崩潰才怪。思哲買了，我比教授清楚一點。
首先，我要的是手機，誰要那條白色耳筒，嫌我家裡還不夠多嗎，還有機背的小鏡頭，這些綑綁的把戲騙不到我。其次，為什麼綑綁我一定要用Mac OS和iTunes呢？購買了iPhone，變相同時購買Mac OS和iTunes，我建議iPhone立即推出Windows Mobile、Symbian和Linux的版本。還有，iPhone預先裝了Yahoo和Google的軟件，又不可以移除，這不是合謀綑綁又是什麼？這肯定需要另外推出一個沒有預裝軟件的版本。換言之，以後3hk和Apple必須同時發售至少5個不同版本iPhone，才能夠彌補它們的罪孽。
如果競爭法能夠早一日制訂，像教授般尊貴的法律工作者，立即便可以大顯身手，首先幹掉3hk，然後再解決Apple，幫我地呢班傻仔出一口氣。

In classics, in long run, every firm can only earn the same return.
If there is a firm earning more (outperform the others), it must be having come monopolistic power (which we actually assumed nil in long run).
In short run, firms tries to differentiate its product from the others (ie by adding services in other area).
Differentiation makes monopoly. And monopoly is good. Look at Bill Gates!!

The question is how do you define as a discrete product. Apple as you say forces you to use her OS and iTune, but it seems that she has received less amount of attack on its monopoly than Microsoft. Or one can think in another way, 3-iphone is one discrete product. So the truth is just whose saying is louder. i.e. whether you like MS, Apple or google more depends on which company bribes you more. A movement with the hint of communism is going on. Google, MS, Apple are all competing. “Fairness” is just a strategic tool used my Google and the like to wield the mass. If you get rid of MS or Apple, people will know how “fair” she will become.

Well, I would say this is what Apple Fans like. It make the phone so special that other cannot compare.
Look at Mac or Apple IIe, if Steve Jobs used Windows, it would be just a normal PC. (such as dell). Even Mac can use windows now, I wonder how many ppl will use like that.
If iphone is do really what you suggest, it will be just another Nokia/Sony Ericsson! No point to buy it and time to sell Apple stock.

3HK-iphone is a strategy used by Steve. One can consider it as a discrete product or can attack Steve directly, including the bundling of OS and iTune. Apple with MS window sell well or not is not a matter – if market does not demand it, it will disappear under a fair ground. Current trend is communist mentality in which monopoly is used differentially according to the love and hatred of the mass. If one day people wake up reading the newspaper, a news say Steve joined MS and Bill headed the iphone, both do nothing to their new companies as every decisions have always been a result of their management team. … what will people react, I wonder…

支持！但分開五種唔夠，應該逐件 parts 分開賣，好似 lego 咁！

iphone是Apple用來玩一些用家(或Mac的粉絲),第一版的iphone無3G….已經覺得怪怪!跟住又減價促銷….到依家話$1500一部iphone….等傳媒幫佢係咁谷！係咁谷！…又咪係要成幾千蚊！其實買iphone的人，如果有部Mac可能會好d!唔係會好煩!．．．本來都有諗過買佢，但還是買了部sony!!反正都用唔到佢咁多功能!無謂嘥！
