That's just what MS and Apple claim. > Both Microsoft and Apple have reportedly argued that Bing and iMessage aren’t popular enough in Europe to warrant being covered by the DMA, despite the commission claiming they meet the required thresholds.

No. It's the initial finding of the EU. > A report from Bloomberg on Wednesday suggests that the EU will rule in Apple's favor. Sources familiar with the matter cited by the report claim that officials are "leaning toward the reprieve" for iMessage, given its relative lack of popularity in the EU marketplace. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/imessage-may-not-forced-open-135206026.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/imessage-may-not-forced-open-...

  "leaning toward the reprieve" is a long way from an actual decision being made.

      I don't dispute that at all, but may I ask why you're replying to me? I'm sure you remember my name, as we were having a discussion on the same topic just a day or two ago. You called me immature, didn't know what I was talking about, claimed I was arguing in bad faith, and that I had a chip on my solider, and then ended by giving yourself a reminder not to reply to me again in the future. I think we would both prefer it if we avoided each other, so I'm just curious why you would instigate a conversation with me after apparently having such a negative experience and claiming you wouldn't do so in the future.
