I have a hard time seeing them doing that. Seems like it would be too big a hit to the stock price.
However, on the other side, if the EU does manage to drive Apple or Google out I wonder if that would cause them real problems from citizens.
Regulations can certainly be nice but at a certain point people may get very annoyed by the results to the point of wanting them removed, even if they’re doing a good job at exactly what they were designed for. Simply because they’re inconveniencing people through the fault of the company making the device.
If you were to run a poll what percent of people would be willing to just give up the smartphone brand they like for something that isn’t android or iOS for the sake of DMA enforcement?
The drug maybe too strong to resist.
- thewebguyd 1y ago> for something that isn’t android or iOS Yeah, the problem is - what is that? It doesn't exist because the duopoloy has successfully shut out all other potential entrants. HarmanyOS maybe? So the EU just exchanges being dependent on US tech for Chinese tech? I think something does need to be done, this duopoly is clearly abusive at this point, but we need to some how incentivize development of another, preferably open source, option and then protect it.
