The dominant EU music streamer by far is still complaining Apple has too much power
“Dominant mobile operating system complaining about green bubbles”. The whining by dominant parties never seems to stop.

GM's CarPlay replacement doesn't work well, and has a long road ahead of it
I guess Apple will have to settle for Porsche, Aston Martin, Land Rover, etc.Massiveattack87 said:
My bad. You are right.flydog said:
No. Mercedes Benz did not confirm "that CarPlay will not be supported for next models." What Mercedes will not be supporting is next gen CarPlay.Massiveattack87 said:GM is not the only one. Mercedes Benz officially confirmed that CarPlay will not be supported for next models.
The reason of Mercedes is that Apple wants to strive for "All or Nothign" strategy.
Mercedes Benz would have no issue to have CarPlay as long as basic features can be played by Apple, but Mercedes Benz is not willing to give up the entire control to Apple.
I fear that more and more OEMs would follow GM´s and MB´s decision not to support Apple CarPlay if Apple continues sticking to their "All or Nothing" strategy.
But Having driven EQS, I have to say that MB is way way behind in the UI/UX area.
MB tries hard to present their cars as a modern technology, but it feels old somehow.
Nothing can top the simplified UI/UX made by Apple.

But Apple may face a critical momentum in the automotive area to lose their relevance.
Apple is a premium brand. I think Apple needs MB or BMW as a partner.

Biden signs TikTok bill into law as Chinese firm threatens legal action
“We can block every American media company we want, but you can’t block ours because American values”. A clear example of how they try to manipulate our system to their advantage.

Apple's generative AI may be the only one that was trained legally & ethically
I’m old enough to remember when Apple was so far behind in the AI race and would never catch. -
WhatsApp & Threads pulled from Apple App Store in China
But by all means let’s continue to allow ByteDance, Temu and SHEIN continue to make money hand over fist in the US App Store and collect all the data they want.
