"Apple responded by stating that the claim was misleading."


I wouldn't say the case against Apple is going to be a walkover for Apple. We'll have to wait and see and perhaps what will be more interesting are the breadcrumbs of information relative to internal communications that might drop along the way. 

Wow I could not quote the whole rant for lack of electrons... An Android phone user in the EU has a lot of time on their hands to write out such a lengthy post on Apple, yet it remains full of errors. Avon b7 must be an EU regulator.

2. US is running a huge trade deficit towards the EU. Seems we're doing fine in producing what you want. From BMW to Wegovy.

It has grown to 30B with EU. More money than I have LOL, but that is trivial compared to China which is almost $400B. Yes the EU makes things. But China makes things cheaper, especially high value tech.

Vestager uses a lot of 'we feel' and 'we are concerned'. Fortunately EU courts are more about the letter of the law than interpretations and I hope this will be like the Apple-Irish tax case. Still this has got to be painful for Apple and the other companies she has targeted. It also makes me wonder how much of this could have been avoided by changes in Apple policies and behaviour years ago, or if this was always going to be a 'EU vs US tech companies' showdown.

I work for an investment firm as a back end researcher and by yesterday afternoon , my bosses  were basically laughing at this outdated and idiotic indictment and the fact that the actual attorney general was made to stand there and read these outdated charges .

I think Garland organized the show. It was intended to show that he can actually do something. I have my doubts for this case and for Garland's ability to win any case. It seems all the smart lawyers went to work for Samsung LOL.

Shouldn’t a WATCH be compatible with the wearer regardless of the OS? It’s a WATCH. Imagine if Rolex decided that you have to have a Rolex phone to wear one of their watches.
