Apple should just make an EU model of iPhone that comes with the absolute bare minimum. No NFC or Secure Element — so, no Face/Touch ID, no Apple Pay etc. Zero apps pre installed except Settings and App Store (after all, preinstalling apps is “anti …

“Not ok” based on, what, exactly? Why is 3% any less arbitrary than 30%? I bet people think Tesla products are overpriced. This guy has plenty of money. Maybe he should build an entire hardware-software ecosystem from the ground up, and continuously…

Why don't they just tell Apple what they want then? It's like when you're trying to decide what to eat with someone, and they say "Just pick something I'd like"...then reject every suggestion you make.

Since the EU seems to know so much about how to make the best phones, OSes, apps, services., maybe they should just make an euPhone that runs euOS. Offer euCloud and maybe EU Music and EU TV. I’m sure it’ll all work great.

Apple’s next proposal should be to shut down the App Store in the Netherlands. Then these companies can use web apps with whatever payment providers they want and nothing owed to Apple. Maybe the only thing a web app would lack that a dating app “n…

Companies choose to pay fines as a cost of doing business every day. They’ve done this forever. It’s nothing new and certainly not unique to Apple. If a monetary penalty is allowed as an alternative to taking some action that the government wants yo…

Apparently simply asking for consent is “disruptive”. Well, I guess it is if your business model relies on practices that are so shady you don’t want to tell users what you’re doing.

Was anyone forced to pay for apps? Were the prices somehow hidden or false? If you see an app (or IAP) and you think it’s too expensive, don’t buy it. Easy. Pick any category and there are tons of apps at all different price points. The prices are …

Apple's motive for its anticompetitive conduct was simple: Apple did not want its iOS Device-related revenue stream to end when a consumer bought an iOS Device, like it generally does when consumers purchase iMac and MacBook computers," the complain…
