If the EU persists in this, Apple could separate its App Store into two different App Stores: * one in the EU where only EU developers could upload code, and * one for the rest of the world where the rest of the world could sell there software. Nobody from the EU could sell apps in the worldwide store, and nobody from outside the EU could sell apps in the EU store.
Apple wouldn't be able to earn 30% on apps from EU developers and Apple would block Google, MS, Facebook etc. from the iPhone in 27 countries and make iPhone less interesting to EU customers due to reduced number of apps. How would Apple benefit from any of that?
So you think it's better for Apple to do anything that the EU ever demands?
So, when IKEA, H&M, Adidas, Toyota, and BP (British Petroleum), let the US government know that they aren’t bound by US regulations, y’all are okay with that? None of them are American companies, so where do we get off telling them how they should sell their products here in the States.
