I remember a long time ago buying the first iPhone model. Eventually, Apple released an update that added an "App Store" that allowed you to download third party apps.

Google released a preview / trailer for a new app called Google Goggles. It was like something from the future, and I wanted it more than anything. However, months and months later, it still hasn't showed up on the App Store.

Eventually, Google released a statement saying Apple was blocking them from releasing it because it competed with Apple in some way, or some shitty thing like that.

It was then that I realized I had paid about $700 for a brand new device which I thought I had owned, but actually did not. I then switched to Android and never purchased an iPhone again.

This has been happening for a long time.
