The ignorance in this article, and in some of the offended comments by non EU citizens is staggering. The EU is a single market, it has a single currency for most of its member countries since 25 years, and services must be delivered without borders. This applies to all companies that do business in the EU. I can buy a refurbished Mac in Germany and enjoy the warranty in France. It is inacceptable that Apple continues to prevent people who move between two EU countries to close down their existing account and open a new one, at the risk of losing their on-going subscriptions. It is unlawful that although I managed to change my payment methods from a Belgian credit card to a French one after moving, that I can’t access the French App Store, where I need to find some banking apps not available on other stores. Etc. Apple has had decades to comply with the EU Directives, so stop all these crocodile tears and get to work!

It’s wonderful, but as it’s now more expensive than a base M3 MacBook Pro, once you factor in the keyboard case, it’s not as great value, based on its os limits. How high does Apple think it can jack up prices before the sales crash? I use my wife’s M1 iPad Pro, bought new in 2021, but instead of getting the newest iPad 13” I got a second hand M1 Max 14” MBP. And I must say Mac OS feels much more pleasant to use.

The EU warned about such shenanigans, so if they do do that, it will be a costly mistake.
