  • EU antitrust chief ready to get on Apple's case about fees and safety warnings

    "I would think of it as unwise to say that the services are not safe to use, because that has nothing to do with the DMA," Vestager said about the warnings. "The DMA is there to open the market for other service providers to get to you and how your service provider of your operating system, how they will make sure that it is safe is for them to decide."
    Uhhhhh...if the other service providers get to decide how "safe it is" then why wouldn't Apple be allowed to say there are risks? Vestager just admitted that the DMA doesn't have security standards. Didn't the EU previously claim that App Store users would have no idea that they could pay for things on the internet unless a message inside the app told them they could do it? But now Apple isn't allowed to communicate that the security standards will be different...which is definitely true according to Vestager herself.
    They may be allowed to say that security standards will be different. But they rightfully are not allowed to imply that only what they do is safe. They had tons of malware and scams in the AppStore already, so.. why not stop being hypocritical and anticompetitive and let the other's show how good they are? Installing an alternative Appstore is a chore most users won't even think about doing and those that do will be well aware of the implications anyways.

    The problem is, there are no compliance efforts. Not really.

  • Apple caves, EU developers will be able to sell apps directly from their websites

    This was 100% clear from the beginning. An Appstore is not “sideloading”, who would have guessed . Now just the fees have to go. If you don’t use any of Apple‘s services, why would you pay them.

  • Apple Vision Pro will be the platform for the killer VR app, not Meta

    Unless Ape decides that killer app is against their rules, of course… then we’ll never even know.

    From what I understand, Apple contributes or provides a platform that directly impacts the jobs and livelihood of more than 2.5 million EU citizens. Are those folks ready and willing to sacrifice their livelihoods because of a tiny number of malcontents and politicians who want to level the competitive landscape by dragging Apple down into the same hole that these misfits and malcontents like Epic occupy?
    Yeah if Fortnite gets back on the iPhone that will be Apple's end, right? Or maybe even the end of the EU.
