> So instead of losing 5% or so of their revenue in the EU they’d rather lose > 80-90% They would directly lose ~40% of profit. Additionally, there’s no reason to buy an iPhone if it just works like an Android, so Apple would be competing with Samsung hardware on price instead of on having a superior customer experience. So there go the other ~60% of profits. So, yes, pulling out of the market completely starts to look like a rational business decision.

> They would directly lose ~40% of profit How did you come to that conclusion. Doesn’t “services” include the $20 billion get from Google per year which is basically pure profit? Also Apple care, icloud etc etc. how would that be impacted? > Additionally, there’s no reason to buy an iPhone if it just works like an Android Why would it work the same as an Android? Most people don’t use third party appstores or side loading anyway… > So, yes, pulling out of the market completely starts to look like a rational business decision. An utterly ridiculously absurd thing to say..
