Apple's Core Technology Fee at the center of EU's first DMA violation investigation
rorschachai said:Apple should just shut down the App Store in the EU and have side loading be the exclusive way to install apps. Wipe their hands of it all and let companies figure out the logistics of marketing, hosting, payment processing, etc themselves.
Apple Intelligence is only the start of features that the EU will be left behind on. -
Apple Intelligence & iPhone mirroring aren't coming to EU because of the DMA
Psamathos said:This seems like a whole load of posturing and blackmail to me. Basically they are saying "we can't enable screen sharing to apps that Apple hasn't authorised because they might allow data to go somewhere that violates the users' privacy". Well, you know, you could always ask the user, couldn't you? Maybe a dialogue box the first time you connect to an app that's not signed by Apple isn't the absolutely perfect user experience, but it's an awful lot better than killing the feature all together. Given that Apple's own app store doesn't have a perfect record on vetting applications, that same pop-up-on-first-connect would probably be useful for Apple App Store apps too.
So no, this isn't EU regulation causing problems. This is Apple causing problems and attempting to blame the EU, because it doesn't want to loose its insanely lucrative monopoly by which is takes 30% of the entire value of the App Store for its own profit.Suck it EU - you reap what you sow. -
EU has very serious issues with Apple, says competition chief

You'd just rather not have to follow the law.They're complying with the letter, but adding extra levies to ensure that following the law makes effectively no difference.
That's the opposite of "following the spirit of the law", and it didn't fly with the EU commission. -
