Europe demands Apple open up iOS for better accessory compatibility
Apple has just 22% of the smartphone market in the EU. So how can you justify saying "Apple IS the market now."CheeseFreeze said:
Finally someone who actually read the article and doesn’t respond with the default American “EU sucks! I love Apple like my mommy” reaction.gatorguy said:
I would agree, but that's not what's being asked of them. As I'm reading it, Apple/Google will have to allow 3rd party vendors to call on/use/access the hardware on an iPhone or Android phone, to facilitate connections. This is not about installing iOS on some third-party product.Pema said:Verstager is total moron. There is ZERO chance of Apple ever releasing its propriety OS for either the iPhone or iPad to 3rd party vendors.
What the EU is asking is not to turn iOS into Linux.
What is happening right now will eventually happen in the US as well; allowing third party stores, allowing users to truly choose between vendors of services (e.g same access to APIs by iCloud, Dropbox, etc). It’s to allow for competition.
Don’t forget: Apple doesn’t operate in the market. They ARE the market now.

Goldman Sachs is certain to lose millions when it sells off Apple Card
So I guess this means Goldman Sachs won't be bringing these services to Canada? We're still waiting.
