"Full Self-Driving" but it's not "full" self-driving, as it requires active supervision. So it's marketed with a nod and wink, as if the supervision requirement is just a peel away disclaimer to satisfy old and

Lol, Spotify has precisely -zero- customers through Apple's IAP. Tell me, what do you think 65 meetings are needed for when Spotify's dues to Apple are literally just the annual developer account fee. So no, the EU isn't some

by quitit 2y ago
The EU uses “anticompetitive” concern as marketing for protectionism. If not, then Spotify would be a deemed a gatekeeper under the DMA. Instead Spotify met with the commission more than 65 times during the development of the DMA. Plus has

The punishments against Microsoft were at the time criticised as being too soft. They have received far stronger penalties from much smaller actions since then. However it was a watershed moment, I believe the verdict was a strong catalyst

While I consider Microsoft's punishment was rather soft - they did however make a huge effort the publicly act like they were changing, including embracing open source instead of trying to kill it. That's why I find it surprisin

I think this is why they filed in the EU instead of the United States. The EU has demonstrated that they'll narrow the boundary of the market and ignore marketshare if they see there is an EU-centric advantage to be had. This also lend

While I can think of a few examples where they have done back ports given time (but not at launch). I still very much see this the same way as you do for Apple Intelligence. Firstly because they're unlikely to announce it for older pho

While your guess is as good as mine. I can see that the screen sharing feature goes beyond what is currently possible with 3rd party mirroring tools, including apple's own earlier tools. For example right clicking brings up extensive c

They haven't given a detailed reason, but pundits who have paid more attention to the DMA suggest that it's because the feature does not allow 3rd parties to offer the same integration. While the DMA's changes to the app stor

I've read "in 100 years" about many technologies that we'd supposedly have in our current era. It's an often used qualifier to dodge what can turn out to be meritless predictions. Just long enough into the future to

Seems like the solution is to make that approval process independent. (As for who would pay for that, who can say, should it be government run?, should it have application fees? etc) While I sympathise with developers who are the victim of

It's like a public negotiation between the EU and Apple. Basically everyone wants Apple to forgo all fees on the platform. That's not realistic, nor likely even something a public company can do without either breaking their fiduc
