Aw, that’s a shame. Bye-bye.
Good! Fuck Apple!
I’m thinking now we should even tighten those laws further.
Ok.
Lets hope so, they cant even follow the laws here.
Good riddance.
heh, the most obvious bluff in the history of bluffs 😀
Linux is getting to be a better option every year that passes.
I think if Apple stops shipping to EU, it would be best thing that EU could hope for. Apple‘s fan fare in Europe is the reason why local options don’t develop. If Apple doesn’t exist because it wants to have monopoly, new solutions would emerge
Like they’d skip out on a huge market. They’re bluffing.
The title is going a bit too far with consequences, though
>the company could stop shipping some products and services to the 27-country bloc.
Apple giving up to a 450 million people source of money? Not really.
>“The DMA means the list of delayed features in the EU will probably get longer, and our EU users’ experience on Apple products will fall further behind,” it said. Apple added that Brussels was creating unfair competition as the rules were not applied to Samsung, the largest smartphone provider in the EU.
>Among the requirements of the DMA is that Apple ensures that headphones made by other brands will work with iPhones. It said this has been a block on it releasing its live translation service in the EU as it allows rival companies to access data from conversations, creating a privacy problem.
Does Samsung implement the same level of blocks?
Nothing lost from my point of view, since i haven’t bought any apple products ever, except actual apples not sold by Apple Inc.
Yeah, sure thing „they won’t ship to eu“, tell that to investors and see how your stock plummets 😒
Do it you coward
“We can’t abuse your market change the law”
*It said it had already delayed the launch of features such as live translation through AirPods and mirroring iPhone screens on to laptop because of the act’s demands for interoperability with non-Apple products and services*
Live translation through earbuds is already available on other platforms.
Mirroring mobile screen to laptops is already available on other platforms.
Late to the party again, apple?
*disrupting the seamless way Apple products work together.*
Disrupting the way Apple handcuffs you into their product range, you mean?
As an Apple fan: fuck them.
We’ll live.
Maybe bring Nokia back.
Yeah, do it.
This means the laws are finally working
Samsung and every chinese brad out there: Dooo iiiiitt, c’mon, doh itttt 🤩🤭
They are welcome to stop selling in the EU if they are not happy with EU laws
Alright then. Turn off the light when you leave please.
Serious the cheeks to think that now they can dictate what’s in laws.
yeah giving up on roughly 30-50% of your annual revenue… not gonna happen
Narrator voice: Apple did, in fact, never stop shipping into the largest economic block of the universe.
I doubt it.
Europe buys ~20% of global iphone sales and makes a significant chunk of app purchases too.
Gosh, I could NOT care less. It’s about time the mega corporations get taken down a peg or two and serious competition elsewhere starts to take their business. Hopefully all made in the EU. Let’s make Nokia great again!
If they stopped shipping to the EU, their 2nd major market, Apple shareholders would crucify tim cock in the middle of the apple campus.
But their claim now that they will stop shipping features in the EU because they don’t agree with the DMA. Even though Google, Samsung and Microsoft found ways to comply with legistlation. Fuck apple.

One thing I agree with Apple on is that other companies shouldn’t be allowed to do that either. Samsung holds 31% of the market share in smartphones and is allowed to lock their features but Apple with its 25% isn’t.
The pressure the EU commission puts on Apple is justified, but it’s weird they don’t care about others. Meta also was supposed to open up WhatsApp. It’s been over a year now and still nothing. Where’s the energy for them? In Germany 63% use WhatsApp, that’s much more of a monopoly than whatever Apple sells here
