  • Apple is restoring Mac users that were banned after using Beeper on iPhone

    I’m going to keep asking why the Beeper folks haven’t been arrested for hacking the iMessage system. I guess hacking s company’s systems is OK as long as it is Apple. 

    Why isn’t the DOJ going after Beeper? Maybe it is to show that Apple is big, bad company for denying Android users blue bubble status. 
    Because Apple doesn't want to sue Beeper, it may lead to a whole unexpected outcome for Apple. They don't want to risk that.

  • 'Strong action' is coming if the EU doesn't like Apple's App Store concessions

    The EU, unlike the US, believes in the spirit of the law, instead of the word of the law, Apple should have realised that.

    Apple cannot win this one by using legal loopholes. I suspect if this continues we may see one of two possibilities:-

    I) Apple exits the EU.
    II) The EU bans Apple within its borders.

    I suspect Apple doesn't want to give up the European market to Samsung and Google, so the first one is highly dependent on whether Apple can still get a profit with side loading existing.

    Also, it is possible that other countries implement a DMA equivalent law (Japan is already in the process of doing so) so exiting markets will be shooting themselves in the foot.

    One thing is sure, the next decade will be different for Apple than the previous one.
