  • 'Fortnite' CEO thought he'd beat Apple in weeks, not years

    I can’t see it in the uk store still? Anyone else unable to see it in other countries?
    Why would it be available in the UK? The court orders are for EU and US.

  • Apple appeals against EU mandate that it freely share its technology

    Clearly, the best and only really viable option is for Apple to sell dumbed down iPhones in the EU, devices that don't receive the latest technology and even have some features removed.
    Mediocre by design
    How US car manufacturers and Apple won the EU through subpar products

    Could I get a signed copy?

    But Project Titan wasn't just about designing a car--it was a proof of concept as to whether a car could be built, delivered and sold in sufficient quantities at the price point Apple would need. Pulling the plug when Tim did was better than delivering the automotive equivalent of Lisa. 
    A 10 year POC for designing a car? How many decades would Apple then spend on building it?

    As for not delivering a Lisa.... AVP is an unsellable miracle of tech like Lisa. It has to be more affordable and open a new market (like DtP) to become a Mac - but for now Cook shipped a Lisa. Which is obviously better than shipping two. I do however believe Car would have been able to disrupt a market.

    Is there anything the EU could possibly demand of Apple that you would not call "leveling the playing field"? Should Apple's chip team be required to provide chips to Apple's competitors? Should Apple be required to license iOS to its competitors? Should it be required to allow installation of alternate OSes on iPhone and iPad? Do you have any sane legal theory of which features of its products a company should be allowed to control, and which it should be forced to turn into third-party flea markets — or do you say "leveling the playing field" when you really mean leveling Apple with any frightfully damaging fairness fantasy that comes down the regulatory pike, simply so that Apple won't be so successful any more, and the playing field therefore will be more "level"?
    In theory there is no limit. US/China/EU could make the demand that devices can't show a smiling face (or now logo) on startup. Or that Apple must sell through stores it doesn't own (the way US states decided to regulate car sales). Or that there can't be encryption (UK, UAE,...). Legislation can result in pretty much anything. Obviously Apple can decide not to sell but from reduced encryption in UK to gov apps in Russia it seems Apple has low standards.

    What have US and EU demanded so far?
    • USB-C and removal of the charger from the package to reduce e-waste - something Apple promised to do on their own.
    • The option for alternative stores but EU respects the value of the SDK. Apple can reject apps and do get paid for SDK use per install.
    • Allowed apps to give people an option to pay directly but only for extras (US).
    • Allowed apps to use NFC (EU) - the apps are still checked by Apple.
    None of the above give technology away. The current request from Google, Meta, Spotify, and Garmin isn't giving tech away either. Those greedy companies want to profile us better towards advertisers. We don't know how EU will respond.

    If EU decides to give away our privacy then we do have a problem. That is however not the current situation.

    The EU has no right to dictate to Apple how its products operate. 
    Let us do a litmus test:
    The US has no rights to dictate Ford how its products operate.
    The US has no rights to dictate Boeing how its products operate.
    The US had no rights to stop Johnson & Johnson from using asbestos in baby powder.

    Could it be that EU has the right?
