> “Despite our concerns with the DMA, teams across Apple are spending thousands of hours to bring new features to the European Union while meeting the law’s requirements. But it’s become clear that we can’t solve every problem the DMA creates,” the company said.
The title of this article seems like sensationalized Clickbait, and I expect better from arstechnica.

- honeybadger1 1y agoarstechnica lost me as a reader about 8 years ago. it's like reading business insider with a hilariously liberal comment section.

- piva00 1y agoEmpty threats to pressure the EU. Usual corporate policy to collude against regulations even as competitors. Let's see if they walk the walk, I highly doubt it. It makes it even funnier to see those two, with some of the highest margins of profit vs revenue in the industry, raking in double-digits billions of profit per quarter, complaining about higher costs. Cry me a river...
- marak830 1y agoI'm not sure I would expect better from Ars - the company that went all in talking about one of the sites users comments when he became news worth (Edward Snowden). I've stopped reading them since that.
- senko 1y agoArs has fallen a long way from what they used to be (I say this as a former subscriber). Expect clickbait articles, shallow tech coverage, rabid commenters (I don't visit the forum but the comments were previously - mostly - of higher quality). I still follow it because I haven't found a worthy replacement yet. As for the article, it actually says this was within a routine consultation, ie. EU asked companies what they think and (as you point out) Apple politely responded.
- danaris 1y agoIME, it's still better than the average tech news site—but since the buyout by CondeNast, it's nowhere near what it used to be.
