The European Commission has fined Apple over €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users’) through its App Store. In particular, the Commission found that Apple applied restrictions on app developers preventing them from informing iOS users about alternative and cheaper music subscription services available outside of the app (‘anti-steering provisions’). This is illegal under EU antitrust rules.
I wish the EU would just ban Apple altogether and be done with it! No more sales of anything Apple.
Close all the stores, both local and online, stop selling accessories, stop selling macs, iPads, TV etc.
Let current device owners use it until it breaks and then recycle it.
End of story. That company is just poison. The apple logo suits them - it’s the poisonous apple given to snow white!!
In what world is there where less competition has been a good thing for the consumer?
Apples lock in is worse for consumers than any “competition” they provide. There are enough other brands to foster competition.
Plus don’t forget you Americans banned Huawei devices because they were a threat to Apple… Under the guise of “spying” with zero evidence thereof…talk about eliminating the competition
Wait, so you’re saying to ban Apple but then on the other hand you’re upset about Huawei devices being banned?
Apple isn’t the only cell phone maker in the USA so I’m not sure why you think Apple was the one who banned Huawei. That’s a conspiracy theory and I don’t use those to make my arguments and I don’t think others should as well.
Wet dream of euro communism, get rid of any powerfull competition that keeps messages e2e encrypted and won’t install spyware on their hardware. Talk with evil corporations like google and microsoft to enforce one digital id, then presinstall spyware on every android and windows os to be able to login to internet.
Talk with evil corporations like google and microsoft
Apple was already evil when even Microsoft wasn’t.
Lol. Apple is at the HEART of communism and NWO. It is BIG BROTHER. That’s why their devices are locked down - to lock you in…
Don’t forget Apple complied with Chinese Communist government to give them access to users iCloud accounts and also banned apps Chinese government doesn’t like. Meanwhile Google is still banned in china because they refused to censor the internet.
Plus on android I don’t have to log into anything Google and can install open source apps to me hearts delight, with zero spyware or even install a different OS. Can’t do that with apple stuff.
Rethink your world view.
i’m genuinely interested in your worldview. apple is communist and the nwo big brother, but huawei, a company from a communist country, shouldn’t be banned in the anglosphere, and apple is bad because it complied with the laws of that communist country, which huawei and google also did.
i’ve got to be missing something. what makes this coherent?
And you what, read minds that you know what people want and who rules the world ? You praise that company can’t protect their business and government that can enforce any company to do anything government want. You know who was doing that before, opressing companies that don’t do what government wants ?
You’re supporting government making decisions about how people need to live by punishing companies and not managing to maintain free market and support small business. Those like you that think that it’s good to punish people by taking money from them are the worst.
The difference between apple and android is that apple is sole producer of both software and hardware platform if you like it or not and it’s protecting it’s IP. If you don’t like apple products nobody is enforcing you to buy them or to use them. It’s only a feeling of missing out that drives your anger. If apple got 0.5% of market would anyone brag about company having their both hardware and software platform closed ? Does anyone brags about nintendo not allowing everyone to install anything on their console ? But no you want to punish all people who use apple products because you hate them and they didn’t do anyting wrong beside don’t care about what you think and have a free will to make their own decisions.
You hate people that use apple because they made decision to use apple product. That’s racism, facism or mental disability. Go see the doctor.
