Their entire response is so petty. Borderline unprofessional in its tone, really.

- nomel 3y agoCould you quote an example?
- drooopy 3y agoSure: "This change is a result of the DMA’s requirements, and means that EU users will be confronted with a list of default browsers before they have the opportunity to understand the options available to them. The screen also interrupts EU users’ experience the first time they open Safari intending to navigate to a webpage."
- mvdtnz 3y agoRead the article?
- nomel 3y agoI asked because I didn't have the same opinion of the interpretation of the tone. I read it more directly, as factual statements. Ideally, making a negative statement around an opinion is best followed with an example for the basis of that opinion, if others may not share it.
- user_7832 3y agoIt's the corporate equivalent of throwing a tantrum. A far cry from the professional image they try to project.
- Agingcoder 3y agoI had the same feeling, and was very surprised. It’s like a child being told there are rules ( I’m not saying whether the rules are good or not ).
- toyg 3y agoAbsolutely. If I were an employee I'd be utterly ashamed right now. They had to be dragged into this literally kicking and screaming. Atrocious behaviour.

- klabb3 3y agoYeah it’s incredibly out of character as well. Apple has always been very clear in their comms with end users. While this is directed towards developers mostly, it’s still a public announcement where the tantrum is mixed with incoherent and vague information. The fact that they are not communicating clearly what all these scam/fraud/safety risks are strengthens the belief that this is a tantrum in the style of a kid who’s reluctantly following the parents rules at a friend’s sleepover, but makes it a sport to circumvent them. Perhaps because they can do whatever they want at home? Also, why have this publicly antagonistic relationship with a large governmental organization in the first place? It reeks of entitlement “we’re above the law” and/or misreading the room that Europeans are unanimously dissatisfied under the tyranny of EU bureaucracy, when that’s not the case at all. In fact, the EU has recovered well in public perception after several massive crises.
