Apple needs to improve the speed of Apple Home loading and refreshing.  We built a 5,000 square foot home trying to utilize HomeKit 100% and got close.  Every light switch and blinds and shades are controlled by Lutron.  I moved everything from Lutron to Apple Home on our iOS devices and Macs so I would use Apple Home but after a few months of only using the Apple Home app I had to go back to using the Lutron app about 90% of the time due to Apple Home responding so slowly.  Calls to Apple support have not provided an answer or fix. 

We are looking at the new Audi SQ9 rumored to be available next year.  CarPlay 2 is a must have and will wait until it is available with Audi's cars or will look at other auto manufacturers.  We need the room in full sized SUV for future grandchildren.

As an Apple shareholder I hope Apple has factored this cost of doing business in Europe into their pricing in Europe.  Seems to me Europe looks at large U.S. tech companies like Apple to pay for their bloated national budgets.

Like my wife always tells me when I complain about some design feature or lack of in my new car, she tells me to design my own car.  The developers are free to design their own smartphone and App Store like I can start my own car company.  I like Apple protecting me and my smartphone.  When Apple stops doing that I’ll go back to a dumb flip phone!

All Europe sees is NEW money for them to spend coming from tech companies. These fines should be passed on to users in those countries since they are a tax.
