Apple arguing iMessage isn't big enough to be EU gatekeeper service
- Opening iMessage to 3rd party will ultimately remove any security measures Apple implemented.
- Apple is on the USB committee but couldn't convince them to adopt the reversible USB standard they designed. They eventually caved in after seeing Lightning:
According to noted Apple pundit John Gruber of Daring Fireball, Apple was the singular driver behind the USB-C standard. Gruber said this on the latest episode of his podcast, The Talk Show:
“I have heard, I can’t say who but lets call them informed little birdies, that USB-C is an Apple invention and that they gave it to the standards bodies … and that the politics of such is that they can’t really say that. They’re not going to come out in public and say that but that they did. It is an Apple invention and they want it to become a standard.
“What I’ve heard is that it’s an Apple invention that was sort of developed alongside Lightning and that they donated, they gave to the standards bodies because they want the industry standard to be thin enough for their devices and they want it to be reversible.”
