    1 Questions for the Record from the Honorable David N. Cicilline, Chairman, Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administra

    Questions for the Record from the Honorable David N. Cicilline, Chairman, Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law of the Committee on the Judiciary Questions for Mr. Kyle Andeer, Vice President, Corporate Law, Apple, Inc. 1. Does Apple permit iPhone users to uninstall Safari? If yes, please describe the steps a user would need to take in order to do so. If no, please explain why not. Users cannot uninstall Safari, which is an essential part of iPhone functionality; however, users have many alternative third-party browsers they can download from the App Store. Users expect that their Apple devices will provide a great experience out of the box, so our products include certain functionality like a browser, email, phone and a music player as a baseline. Most pre-installed apps can be deleted by the user. A small number, including Safari, are “operating system apps”—integrated into the core operating system—that are part of the combined experience of iOS and iPhone. Removing or replacing any of these operating system apps would destroy or severely degrade the functionality of the device. The App Store provides Apple’s users with access to third party apps, including web browsers. Browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge and others are available for users to download. 2. Does Apple permit iPhone users to set a browser other than Safari as the default browser? If yes, please describe the steps a user would need to take in order to do so. If no, please explain why not. iPhone users cannot set another browser as the default browser.

    Analysis of Bytedance with a Close Look on Douyin / Tiktok ——————————————————

    —————————————————— Analysis of ByteDance with a close look on Douyin / TikTok —————————————————— Author: Xiaoye SHI Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Didier SORNETTE A thesis submitted to the Department of Management, Technology and Economics (D-MTEC) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ) in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Management, Technology and Economics June 2019 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Didier Sornette, who has kindly given me countless guidance and advice throughout the Master thesis. I appreciate the opportunity to work on this interesting topic under the Chair of Entrepreneurial Risks and is deeply grateful for all the help received along the process. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to my parents, who have been supportive and encouraging under all circumstances. Without them, I would not be able to become the person I am today. - 2 - Abstract In 2018, ByteDance, a young Internet company with only 6 years of history, broke out on various news headlines as the highest valued unicorn. With the acquisitions of musical.ly and Flipgram, the company’s flagship product Douyin strikes to develop its global presence under the name TikTok. This thesis analyzed Douyin’s historical growth and revenue model. As a main revenue driver, future user growth is predicted and calibrated by extending the methodology proposed in earlier studies by Cauwels and Sornette. We considered three growth scenarios – base, high and extreme, and estimated Douyin as well as ByteDance’s value based on comparable company analysis. ByteDance’s key performance metrics and multiples were compared with four other firms in the similar industry, Facebook, Weibo, Momo and iQIYI.

Today, 1.85 million different apps are available for users to download. Android users have even more from which to choose, with 2.56 million available through the Google Play Store. These apps have come to play a huge role in the way we live our lives today. Through them, we can access pretty much the entire Western canon of music (and much beyond it too), meet romantic partners, and manage our diaries, documentation, and payments.
