Regulatory worried?
The EU stated they will investigate this. And somehow Apple decides less than a week later that the feature will return.
Looks like regulators should not be worried about Apple complying in the medium term.
DMA has a catch-all: any circumvention can lead to penalties. You can try to play games like this, but it will just lead to fines.
I would expect a few more U-turns, especially on the fee structure.
- bevekspldnw 3y agoI think they’ll keep pushing their luck but it’s not in a vacuum - Microsoft, Google, and Meta have been dealing with EU regulators a lot longer and on a much deeper level. They will see Apple’s missteps and use that towards their own benefit by gaming the refs. Ironically, Microsoft now has a fairly good argument that Apple is abusing its OS control to stifle competition in web browsers. What a world! Apple is playing checkers, Brad Smith is playing chess.
