AppleInsider said: "[The fine is] the equivalent of 0.5% of global turnover, so obviously, this is not a fine that would sort of shake Apple as such," [Vestager] told CNBC. I don't think Apple is comparing the amount of this fine to its …

"Malicious compliance," haha. Sweeney is so hilarious. Like, I guess he and Ek thought for sure Apple would just throw up its hands, and say, "Gee, I guess we have to do this everywhere in the world because the EU said so." Nope, try again. EU law a…

What I want to know is, if someone has a successful app on the App Store, like say Monument Valley, and if they decide to continue selling it only on the App Store, then will pirate copies start showing up on EU alternative app stores, and will it b…

When Sweeney says Apple is illegally stifling competition, he really means, "I want to install whatever I want on Apple's platform, with no Apple oversight/approval, and totally for free (except to my own customers who will pay handsomely to play my…

Sweeney Rick VanMeter says Apple's package of new EU terms "is not fair, reasonable, nor non-discriminatory". That's a reference to FRAND (Fair, Reasonable, And Non-Discriminatory). FRAND is a set of licensing term limitations that applies (or at le…

darkvader said: It's well past time for Apple to end this charade. Artificially blocking app installation should be illegal everywhere. Allowing users to install apps from any source they choose is the only option Apple has, the longer they …

I would agree that Apple Maps is not a huge improvement over Google Maps, but there's a very important reason Apple created it anyway: Google refused to provide turn-by-turn directions, vector maps, 3D flyovers, etc. to iOS: those features were avai…

mikethemartian said: What other search engine is profitable enough to pay that amount to Apple every year? Probably any competent search engine would be that profitable if they landed this deal — the money Google is currently paying Apple …

I think Apple wants to enter a market when it can make a markedly better product that what's already out there. For example, compare the original 2007 iPhone to the other smartphones that existed at that time; the difference is huge. On the other ha…

They also point out the inconsistency in Apple's policies, where Apple's apps like Apple Music are not subject to the 30% commission, putting third-party developers and their customers at a disadvantage. When you buy from Spotify through Apple's sto…

"the agency said that Apple imposes 'a more restrictive privacy policy' on third-party developers than it does to itself." Yes, that's right. If I choose to bank at Chase, then Chase is going to know my name, address, phone, and all about my accoun…
