EU law will force Apple to blow open its entire hardware and software stack
Are you serious? Revenue share Q2 2021 of Apple:rob53 said:EU is a dictatorship, plain and simple. At this point Apple needs to seriously tell the EU to GTH. The US needs to triple import duties on EU goods effectively shutting the EU down. The US should also reduce exports to the EU and cut off any financial support.
1. USA 38%
2. EU 24%
3. Greater China 20%
...
By the way – I would guess that USA will follow EU!

Apple cites bevy of scared users to back up its case against the EU DMA
Strong words but not much wisdom: Apple keeps notarization (and checks for malware) also in EU, sideloading is not really happening in the EU. Maybe it will come to corrupt USA. The main difference is that Apple cannot restrict the content of apps (as long the content is legal in the EU).rob53 said:The issue most people are not understanding, especially the corrupt EU, is that once sideloading is possible, malware will be much easier to install on many iPhones.

Apple says 'stay tuned' to free app developers in the EU worried about fees
It needs to be sorted out, also any app that is initially free and requires a subscription has a problem if it is downloaded often but does not get enough subscriptions to compensate for Apple's core fee. -

Apple pauses iOS 18, macOS 15 work to stomp bugs now
I like this very much and I would also like if developer tools (and websites!!!) would be addressed too !

20.3-inch MacBook with foldable screen rumored to hit store shelves in 2027
I don't think that I will like a foldable MacBook (or iPhone or iPad) – but maybe I am wrong...

Apple protests criticism that it's not complying with EU laws
Where did you hear that? Currently Apple does the notarization (and check for malware) for alternative app stores.teejay2012 said:The latest that I have read is that Apple will not be allowed to notarize any app from an alternative app store. Hands off completely? Call me crazy but that sounds like the EU commission will take some responsibility for app safety. I would think, if this is true, that Apple will need to change the warranty on iPhones, to exclude coverage on phones that have installed malware that have damaged the phone or caused any security issues. Of course iPhones can be reset (in most cases if not bricked) but you would really need to trust the developer and the alternate app store. No thanks for me.
