I wonder if the authors of these posts have any control over the false click bait headlines that adorn their stories? “Europe” is emphatically not pressing Apple for compensation. 

This is the most deceptive headline ever, or really poor writing. Not sure which.

The other deceptive language which I think is a big part of the problem and exacerbated by the media is the use of the word "slow" or "slowdown". There is a palpable sense of permanence in that word that is not present in the proper word "throttle". As in :
"Apple did not (permanently) slow down your phone, the phone (temporarily) throttles the processor to avoid a sudden shutdown initiated to protect the battery. This will also will extend its life of the battery as well." (And possibly avoid the phone go Samsung Smokey.)
I was so relieved by that update because my 6S was shutting down with over 40% battery on a weekly basis and more. This stopped immediately after that update and i had never ever noticed a difference in performance until this whole issue came out in the open. And nobody that I know of ever mentioned a difference in performance for years until this whole kerfuffle came out. Yes, yes, Apple coulda shoulda done better, they should've done exactly what they did eventually, but in the real world this had no impact, nobody noticed.

Settings … Safari … Search engine … DuckDuckGo !
One of the very first rituals I've been doing on every iOS device after Apple's setup routines. 
So 4 intuitive taps is a « significant barrier » to UK regulators !!
How the hell can they possibly expect to ever get Brexit done !!!

I prefer Tesla app which I don’t even need to take it out of the pocket to nake it work😂

Probably because their cars have hardware other than NFC. It would seem that the basic system they demonstrated here was just NFC for some kind of universality. When more cars will be fitted with the new standard, the U1 chip will allow that possibility as well.

The second entry concerns a "personal computer of the Apple brand A2330 (macOS software version 10.15) and spare parts for it." Apple is of course continually working on new Macs, and it has been rumored that the iMac will soon be updated. However, previous iMacs have had EEC serial numbers beginning A1, while previous MacBook Pro models have been begun A2.

Oh Noooooo, say it ain't sooooo.

"We believe podcasting is and should remain an open medium, free of government censorship. As such we won't be censoring podcast content at their request," the company said.

Why Pocket Casts was singled out among the dozens of podcast players available on iOS is unknown.

Uhm, could it possibly be more bold ? italic maybe ?
