  • Apple Intelligence & iPhone mirroring aren't coming to EU because of the DMA

    Hell yeah! Why doesn’t every country just submit to anything Merka wants and bends over and takes it! YA-HOOO!

    LOL.

    The EU has the right to create regulations as they see fit. Apple has the right to not include some features that would be compromised by EU mandates in the EU.

    This is not a problem. One or more market and/or political forces will act to resolve this conflict, though that may take some time.

    To be clear, I think that if Apple sincerely believes current EU mandates compromise user security, it should not offer those features in the EU. It’s not “punishment,” it’s part of the company’s core value to protect user security. I don’t think it has anything to do with Apple wanting to “punish” the EU — their money is just as good as anyone else’s.

    If European users feel strongly enough that they want those features, they will reform the EU to allow companies like Apple and Microsoft (not you, Google) to prioritize user security and privacy. This may all take a long time, but a happy (or at least acceptable) medium will eventually be achieved.
    The EU is just Germany deciding they can get a better deal away from being functionally defunct and irrelevant. Of course, I don't know if that will happen since the EU has granted Germany financial dominion over continental Europe they never could have imagined achieving militarily.

  • Masimo has spent $100M in Apple Watch patent infringement fight

    Ah, yes! They’re just fighting this for the little guys! They’re definitely not doing it for their own financial benefit alone!

  • Why Tesla can get by without CarPlay but other car makers can't

    rgw1469rgw1469
    The best aspects of a Tesla are the range and straight-line driving experience off the line. Their cabin software package advantage has been eroded pretty quickly by the luxury manufacturers. I don't think Tesla is going to be able to play the "well our software is just so damn good you don't need it" game much longer.

  • UK won't copy EU USB-C common charger mandate

    The new EU rule only applies to phones that used wired charging.  It does not apply to phones that only use wireless charging (such as Apple's MagSafe).  If Apple used software to disable charging on the lightning port, that would make the iPhone 13 compliant with the new USB-C rule.
    Sounds dumb as hell to me.
