Apple have no obligation to allow their devices to do X even if the device is capable of it. It’s well understood when you buy an iPhone you’re getting a closely managed experience. If that isn’t acceptable, buy something else
- rowanG077 2y agoThe EU disagrees with your statement at least for some X. So Apple indeed is under the obligation to allow users to those X if they want to sell their devices in the EU.
- smackeyacky 2y agoAnd I guess technically correct is the best kind of correct, but rather than give money to Apple for some fantasy feature they will fight tooth and nail against, just buy something else.
- rowanG077 2y agoThese are not fantasy features. Just look at the simplicity of having USB-C on the iphone. The only reason this is there is because of the EU. Iphones would still be in the dark ages with lightning were it not for the EU.
- justinclift 2y ago> Apple have no obligation to allow their devices ... Pretty sure that once people have bought the device, it's literally theirs and not Apples. At that point, what Apple wants for the device should just be advisory rather than something they can exert any actual control over.
