Why would you take advice from a competitor, especially one that is suing you over exactly the subject matter of their advice?

Really, Apple telling Google to concentrate on services is like Google telling Apple to concentrate on hardware.

Google was iirc at some point involved in developing a little phone operating system that competed directly with one of Apple's cash cows. Naturally it would be great for Apple if google forgot about phones, Android and whatever else would cause them to one day run in to Apple in the marketplace.

If google would concentrate on search then that would be great news for Apple indeed.

Android is not a service, Chrome is not a service.

Search, YouTube and Plus are services.
