I mean, I'm a fan of EU forcing Apple's hand here; but Apple can (and does) hire the best lawyers money can buy, I don't think "you have to file a report explaining why you think you're complying with the rules" is a significant headwind for them.
- EMIRELADERO 3y agoThe commission will then analyze that report. It's a proactive back-and-forth, not rubber-stamping.
- klausa 3y agoSome lawyers will be paid to analyzed the report; but orders-of-magnitude much work will be spend to examine and analyze the actual changes to the store. The legal (might?) documents help to make a case down the line why their efforts were not up to snuff; but they won't be the _main_ reason why any enforcement actions will or will not happen.

The compliance report requires Apple to hand in any internal documentation relating to the implementation requirements, including discussion of other options that weren't implemented in the end, plus the reason for them not being picked over the production ones. It's not legalese. It's substantive company decision-making information.
