蘋果50年，稱霸科技與文化，是一場權謀與競爭交織而成的商戰史詩。蘋果軟硬體通吃，市值屢創新高，主宰地表超過十億用戶的數位生活。蘋果稱霸市場的控制手段和野心，在巔峰之際浮現日益擴大的隱形裂縫，科技巨頭和地緣政治力量反擊，衝擊蘋果霸權，更影響我們每一個消費者。蘋果透過 iPhone 與 App Store 生態系打造的影響力，早已超越單純的商業範疇，進一步主宰全球文化走向與思想資訊的流動。只能透過iPhone接觸十億用戶的全球廠商們，真的別無選擇嗎？這種激烈的封閉與控制，使蘋果成為各方角力的箭靶。由歐美和各國的監管部門、Epic Games、Spotify、Meta、微信等巨頭所組成的「蘋果反抗軍聯盟」，正在聯手削弱數位帝國的主要獲利模式和成長動能，但是這些競爭對手也同樣模仿蘋果，建立自己的數位圍牆。《華爾街日報》專欄作家希金斯深入探討蘋果崛起與主導市場的故事、App Store的獲利模式、矽谷企業家之間的鬥爭脈絡，以及地緣政治之間引人入勝的交鋒。◆ 當規則由你制定，就更容易獲勝如果消費者在App Store的應用程式中購買數位商品（如電子遊戲），蘋果最高可拿走 30% 抽成，等於向Facebook、Spotify、Epic Games 等商家徵稅， Google也盡可能模仿蘋果的生態系，同樣收取佣金。◆ 執行、執行、徹底執行！若商家想接觸蘋果的富裕用戶，App Store是唯一門戶，必須遵守蘋果制定的規則。◆ 拒絕提供特殊待遇蘋果不會為了任何廠商而簽署特殊協議，Google卻會這麼做，部分原因是確保熱門的新遊戲和應用程式能在Android系統上架。有些商家認為抽成不公平，希望改變運作方式，卻發現處處受限。◆ 擁抱法律風險，不計代價戰鬥許多公司選擇走輕鬆的路，以避免耗時的訴訟和未知的風險。蘋果選擇戰鬥到底，即使敗訴，也建立了「絕不妥協」的威懾力，以此嚇退其他對手。◆ 堅持原則的風險雖然法官認為，蘋果不能禁止開發者在應用程式提供其他支付方式的連結，不過蘋果並未讓任何商家隨心所欲，設法提高開發者連結外部支付的門檻，但是後續的法院判決也迫使蘋果在未來必須更開放。◎媒體推薦極具可讀性……講述蘋果如何擊退來自遊戲開發商、監管機構，以及潛在競爭對手的連番攻勢。――《金融時報》，強納森‧穆爾斯（Jonathan Moules）
