Probably?  Try definitely.  I thought the EU was all about fair competition?

WITHIN the EU, yes.

Well iPhone is open WITHIN the Apple ecosystem.  Check and mate.

I can buy things from literally ANYWHERE on the planet 

Not if you're a business and your country doesn't have a trade agreement with where you want to buy from.

What is this nonsense? 

Maybe you should get up to speed with this topic before debating it?   https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/21/britons-buying-from-eu-websites-face-more-than-100-import-duties

Oh really? So the EU should just open up the common market to 3rd countries to be nice?

You don't see the irony in this comment.  Go on, read it again and see if you can see it?   The socialists in the EU want Big Tech to "open everything up to spur competition" Yet the EU wants to remain "closed".  They don't want to follow the very example they are trying to set (typical with socialists)
