- ▶ 5:50 Benedict Evans I mean, there's a, that kind of leads on to the next question, which is, well, you know, if you're not a shareholder in one of these companies, why does it matter who it is that's selling Android phones, particularly if they're all a… 9 times in the scene

a16z Podcast | Apple Takes on Payments and Your Wrist
- ▶ 2:51 Benedict Evans Um, so the interesting thing here is, as I said, we're saying that when you look at the high end segment, that Apple is really the only place Apple competes, um, they've probably only got around half of that segment, and the other half is…
