Apple as Benevolent Dictator

I love Apple. I’m a Steve Jobs and Jony Ive fanboy until I die.

Plato once talked about tyrant-kings, philosopher-kings, and in modern times we refer to this notion as “benevolent dictator”. The question —

What is Apple as a company?

It is an epicurean walled garden. A good walled garden. But note how Apple is anti Google and Facebook. Apple as the only company trying to protect our privacy and focus. Perhaps Apple as a benevolent dictator is a good thing.
