  • Apple Intelligence & iPhone mirroring aren't coming to EU because of the DMA

    This is just Apple being spiteful.  A temper tantrum, and an attempt to stop DMA-like policies from spreading to other countries’ markets, which there are already signs of it happening.  I support the EU mostly.  We’d still have Lightning if it wasn’t for them.

    And Phil, I’m happy to make the judgement call on what I deem safe to install on my devices, thank you.  And I accept the consequences.  It’s not like the App Store hasn’t had its share of security threats and dodgy apps.
    The only reason we have a DMA act is that some frustrated EU CEO’s lobbied very well and have wapenized it through legislation instead of innovation. 
    This is the best sentence in this entire thread. The DMA is nothing more than a protectionist law designed to prop up EU’s joke of a tech sector through heavy-handed regulation of American tech companies.

  • The dominant EU music streamer by far is still complaining Apple has too much power

    “Dominant mobile operating system complaining about green bubbles”. The whining by dominant parties never seems to stop.

  • GM's CarPlay replacement doesn't work well, and has a long road ahead of it

    GM is not the only one. Mercedes Benz officially confirmed that CarPlay will not be supported for next models.

    The reason of Mercedes is that Apple wants to strive for "All or Nothign" strategy. 
    Mercedes Benz would have no issue to have CarPlay as long as basic features can be played by Apple, but Mercedes Benz is not willing to give up the entire control to Apple.

    I fear that more and more OEMs would follow GM´s and MB´s decision not to support Apple CarPlay if Apple continues sticking to their "All or Nothing" strategy.

    But Having driven EQS, I have to say that MB is way way behind in the UI/UX area. 
    MB tries hard to present their cars as a modern technology, but it feels old somehow. 

    Nothing can top the simplified UI/UX made by Apple. 
    No. Mercedes Benz did not confirm "that CarPlay will not be supported for next models."  What Mercedes will not be supporting is next gen CarPlay.

    My bad. You are right. 

    But Apple may face a critical momentum in the automotive area to lose their relevance.
    Apple is a premium brand. I think Apple needs MB or BMW as a partner. 
    I guess Apple will have to settle for Porsche, Aston Martin, Land Rover, etc.

    “We can block every American media company we want, but you can’t block ours because American values”.  A clear example of how they try to manipulate our system to their advantage.

  • Apple's generative AI may be the only one that was trained legally & ethically

    I’m old enough to remember when Apple was so far behind in the AI race and would never catch.
