Apple in a few months to VPN's: give us 30% share if you want to serve as exit node to Apple iCloud+ VPN.

Two part strategy as always:

1. Get yourself in-between of an already functioning system, by force if needed 2. Abuse your market position to gain millions of users, make it super easy to use this as default, and make existing players compete for their 70% share of what they already were earning.

- Enjoy new billions on top of existing trillions



This goes against my general distrust of giant corporations, but I trust Apple a lot more than I do the extremely shady VPN companies infesting the internet
