  • EU launches mass DMA violation probes against Apple, Google, and Meta

    teejay2012teejay2012
    Vestager uses a lot of 'we feel' and 'we are concerned'. Fortunately EU courts are more about the letter of the law than interpretations and I hope this will be like the Apple-Irish tax case. Still this has got to be painful for Apple and the other companies she has targeted. It also makes me wonder how much of this could have been avoided by changes in Apple policies and behaviour years ago, or if this was always going to be a 'EU vs US tech companies' showdown.

    I work for an investment firm as a back end researcher and by yesterday afternoon , my bosses  were basically laughing at this outdated and idiotic indictment and the fact that the actual attorney general was made to stand there and read these outdated charges .



    I think Garland organized the show. It was intended to show that he can actually do something. I have my doubts for this case and for Garland's ability to win any case. It seems all the smart lawyers went to work for Samsung LOL.

  • Apple will crush the DoJ in court if Garland sticks with outdated arguments

    Shouldn’t a WATCH be compatible with the wearer regardless of the OS? It’s a WATCH. Imagine if Rolex decided that you have to have a Rolex phone to wear one of their watches. 
    For the kind of money Rolex charges, I would make sure it worked for me before I purchased LOL.
    I do not think your example is even close, as Apple Watch interoperability did not change after your purchase. You can use an Apple Watch with Android phones, but you need an iPhone to complete the initial setup and there is quite a bit of functionality that is not available (ie Health metric syncing). But it does get messages and does work as a watch.

    Legal arguments aside. I do not recall seeing such a Hollywood staged press conference by the DOJ for other tech companies being targeted. Or 'individuals' who deserved a lot more attention when it comes to justice required. Garland staged this, with his backdrop of loaded AGs for effect, not information, as reflected by a very short Q&A. There were enough journalists that could have asked some tough questions about 'why this, why now'? This had effect. AAPL tanked by 4% wiping out almost 200B in value, harming many investors as well as pension plans. This is not nothing. There really was no need for this except for the grandstanding show of it, to counter Garland's image as an ineffectual AG and to shift the focus of voters away from 'other issues' in the news.

    Maybe the problem is not that Apple is going to finally bring RCS to the iPhone in 2024.  Maybe the problem is that only Apple can bring RCS to the iPhone platform, instead of letting whatever app users choose provide RCS functionality on the iPhone platform, whether or not Apple thinks RCS is ready.
    RCS needs to be integrated into the system and is not an add on app. Apple agreed to integrate. That should be the end of the interoperability complaint as far as messaging. However there is nothing within the specifications that says the bubbles must now be all the same.
