European Union smacks Apple with $2 billion fine over music streaming
foregoneconclusion said:avon b7 said:This is part of what the EU had to say:
"Today's decision concludes that Apple's anti-steering provisions amount to unfair trading conditions, in breach of Article 102(a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU'). These anti-steering provisions are neither necessary nor proportionate for the protection of Apple's commercial interests in relation to the App Store on Apple's smart mobile devices and negatively affect the interests of iOS users, who cannot make informed and effective decisions on where and how to purchase music streaming subscriptions for use on their device.It's not that the iPhone does not allow users to surf on the net to find the information on Spotify's site.It's that the App Store is designed in such a way that the information about one product is harder to get than the information about another product.And, guess what, it's not Apple Music's info that is harder to get.Is that clear enough?To be really crystal: as an IPhone buyer, I bought an IPhone: not an Apple products push engine. -

Repair site praises new iPhone 16 line as the most repairable yet
Xed said:avon b7 said:No doubt upcoming EU directives came into play on these changes.Here you are:On Tuesday, [European] Parliament adopted its position on a stronger “right to repair” for consumers, with 590 votes in favour, 15 against, and 15 abstentions. The proposal aims to encourage more sustainable consumption, by making it easier to repair defective goods, reducing waste and supporting the repair sector.Within the legal guarantee period, sellers would be required to prioritise repair if it is cheaper or equal in cost to replacing a good, unless the repair is not feasible or inconvenient for the consumer. MEPs also propose to extend the legal guarantee by one year once a product has been fixed. -

How the UK's Brexit vote to leave Europe affects Apple
apple ][ said:SpamSandwich said:Perhaps Apple could get an even better deal than with the backstabbing Irish and move their European operations to England instead now? No more harmonized tax rates to abide by, I'm sure Britain will be eager to attract LOTS of big businesses (and with that lower priced Pound too)!
England would make a great base for European Operations.
One other positive outcome for Apple when the EU finally disintegrates, is no more ridiculous EU commissions or EU Jihads and EU lawsuits against Apple.
How could the UK now be the "great base for European Operations".
The UK just cut itself off from the Single Market.
For your own good, please educate yourself on the matter before posting any more idiocy.
