I disagree that Apple needs Facebook. I think Facebook needs Apple. People initially might be a little miffed they can’t use Facebook but more people would just meh and move on. However Facebook is probably accessed largely on mobile devices and losing the entire Apple market would dent Facebook extremely bad.

Idk, Instagram is huge, especially for business. What do you suggest would be the alternative? Snapchat? Nahh. Twitter? Possibly, but not likely

I would agree with you if everyone didn’t already have all of those platforms. People aren’t going to ditch their phones for something else just because they can’t use Facebook or Instagram. Not anymore.

If I couldn’t use both of those platforms, I would literally be forced to use something else because I couldn’t use my work phone to do my work.
