Apple regularly have PR battles with governments, this week they openly sponsored a study on the App Store in Brazil to defend their ability to be the only store on iOS. Recently they fought UK publicly regarding encryption. And they have fought FBI publicly with press releases and interviews regarding similar things. Apple executives have also publicly spoken about their disagreements with DMA in 2024 and 2025.

- Y-bar 1y agoNot necessarily. Just now for example Apple is facing a regulatory problem with the eSIM, so they mention that they have an actual regulatory issue. [1] But for this translation feature they have not even mentioned any regulatory issues, so we should from conclude, from previous and current behaviour, that Apple is delaying for something else. Probably engineering or political reasons. [1] https://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/12/apple-delays-iphone-air-launch-china-e-sim/ https://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/12/apple-delays-iphone-air...
