What will happen if they exit the EU? They will loose more revenue and tank their stock and Tim Apple will get the boot ad EU users will move to Samsungs, Pixels and Nokias and life will go on.
You're acting like the EU is some poor country in the outback and not their second biggest market after the US.
Or better yet, we fork Android and have a non-Google EU-only appstore similar to Huawei's Andorid fork OS and appstore but with EU's privacy rules. If so many companies bother to make apps just for Huawei's separate appstore, then they'll definitely do that for the EU as well. Of course, then Google will go bitch about it to "daddy", and the US will probably start a trade war with the EU.

- FirmwareBurner 3y agoWhy does it matter who said it? Tim Apple is nothing offensive. Should we all avoid loving dogs because Hitler and Saddam used to love dogs?

No one would use it and no developers would publish to them. All brands have their own appstore already, but no one uses them so they also all ship with the Google app store.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoUnless you can't ship with the Google store. You're wrong. A lot of Apps are on Huawei's store in EU.

Biden doesn’t strike me as having much appetite for a trade war with the EU (he famously has a lot of soft diplomacy skills instead), but if Trump were reelected? Maybe that’s something Apple’s holding out for, who knows. Wild speculation on my part.
