Ok Germany, where's your computer devices that are used worldwide? Oh, can't actually make any that people want to use? Quit complaining about Apple's success and try and compete instead of trying to make money by fining an American company.

I feel Apple should be proactive and reverse obvious Scam messages, attacking the sender with malware from Apple. Why should users have to try and figure out if a text message is spam, Apple's Message software should be able to block it without the user needing to do anything. I'm sure there's some honest hackers who could come up with the software necessary to attack the sender. It wouldn't bother me if some halfway honest texts were sent and got deleted. My Junk Mail folder has been hammered lately with multiple junk emails sent at the same time. I have seven Mail Rules with about 30 junk mail addresses that run constantly. It's time junk mail and spam text is treated as attacks on people, with the FBI (or similar) investigating and arresting national and international spammers and hackers.

This ridiculous EU and UK bullying nonsense will absolutely stop under the Trump Administration. Biden did nothing to protect our companies. Beat Apple with innovation not with govt bullying. Stop whining and get to work. 

Read Chasm's comment above. trump won't do anything to help Apple unless he receives a huge payment. The EU and UK might actually go after Apple and trump, forcing Apple to pay even more money. The Biden administration's DOJ did as much as they could do to protect Apple. The EU, and now the UK, has been trying to steal as much Apple products as possible, forcing Apple to open up its system, which it shouldn't have to do. As for the EU and UK complaining about fees Apple charges to run a business, that's simply garbage. Every company charges fees for whatever their product is.

There comes a point where Apple is going to have to bite the bullet and flip the Indonesian government the bird and just pull completely out of the country until saner heads prevail. 

It’s one thing to require some investment, but constantly moving the goal posts is outright bribery at this point. 

I agree. Apple doesn't have to sell products to every country. I'm sure the USA supports Indonesia with plenty of money. There's no reason Apple needs to invest in this country. Goes the same with the other countries demanding major investments to get Apple products.

I finally did a screen replacement on an iPhone instead of a battery replacement. It was only an iPhone 8 but it was very difficult because of the tiny screws. Smallest was around 1.3 mm, which is gone if it falls off a table. I magnetized my ifixit tools and still came close to losing screws. I’m not even going to try the latest ones, they require expensive tools to do everything.
