  • EU DMA architect says Apple seems to want to be fined for non-compliance

    They already have customers on their side, you think all Apple customers were ignorant about the devices they bought or that they lied in those surveys that consistently put Apple at the top of customer service rankings? The EU is ignoring all of them by kowtowing to greedy, whiny corporate bitches like Epic and Spotify. The world is truly upside down on this.
    Funny how one of the highest vaulted companies in the world can be the victim here. I'm pretty sure Apple didn't get a high ranking by making the use of Apps impossible.

    Dear William, you know, banning a company (and it's games) from millions of devices isn't quite the same as 'free speech'. 
    Apple can say about Epic whatever they want, in my opinion, but I as a customer don't want to fear my favorite app won't exist anymore next week because Apple might get mad at the developer. And cancelling the last account just the day 3rd party apps were enforced was a really, really stupid move. Apple is losing goodwill and reputation quickly all over the world for a fight they cannot win.

    How could the EU possibly be looking out for its residents if there is a way to allow developers to ask for and get more personal data from users. Only someone not understanding the consequences would grant this position and it is one that should not even be possible to do.
    Oh sure, Apple is only looking out for us. That THEY want to control everything and milk the last dime out of every customer has nothing to do with it. Imagine being able to run a virtual machine on an iPad, we would instantly die. Or is Apple afraid that they’d sell less macs? It’s just petty, and they will have to eventually do the right thing kicking and screaming and having lost a lot of goodwill.

    Thank you so much Apple! You blocking me from re-downloading an app I paid for or even updating it when I move out of EU-land es CLEARLY you looking out for me, not you showing your ugly control-freak face. After 25 years of almost 'Apple only' lifestyle, I'm quickly reaching a point where I had enough…
