Or it might play well on rising nationalist anti-EU sentiments throughout Europe. The EU has a lot of battles to fight at the moment so Apple might be betting that they back off to an extent. That said I agree it will likely blow up in Apples faces. It strikes me as a line that would play well in the US (replace EU with US and re-read it) that they've not realised won't work over here.
- emptyfile 10y agoHonestly since brexit I've been constantly amazed how little Brits and Americans understand continental Europe's opinion on the EU. On the continent euro-sceptics operate on the extreme political fringe, they never got into any parliament in numbers and are considered toxic as coalition partners. The EU won't blow apart, the EU is a fact of life and an economic necessity, Brexit was so shocking because it is indeed unbelievable that anyone would try to quit the EU.
