americans just cant cope with their companies being regulated lol like the rest of the world are in agreement that apple are pretty fucked up
Who are these consumers unhappy with how Apple is managing their product offerings? Who's being hurt? If your entire lawsuit is about protecting the consumer then who and what is disenfranchised by Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, etc?
Epic isn't going to offer anyone a better and more affordable in-game currency on Fortnite delivered via their own app store -- they're gonna pocket that money.
By and large, almost all of smartphone users are happy with their ecosystems.

That sounds like an outright lie lol
"forcing users" is doing A LOT of work there for a feature that users can optionally tap into
Also the irony of Apple asking to access APIs from GM and GM saying no and in response they ditched CarPlay altogether. And that is being used against Apple, so isn't GM being anticompetitive here?

Find you someone that loves you as much as:
1. Reilo loves Apple
2. Sy loves Sony
3. Smokey loved Harden from 2012-2021

I'd even defend Google and Microsoft on this. This lawsuit makes no sense.
It's like suing reddit and Facebook and saying they need to make their APIs public for fair use.
BUT at the same time claim that they aren't allowed to access another company's APIs.

Isn't that what reddit ads are currently? Feel like I constantly see crap ads masquerading as real content
The EU said it will investigate five different possible acts of non-compliance in its announcement:Dude, what does this even mean? These are so vague.
1 & 2 - Whether Apple and Alphabet are not allowing apps to freely communicate with users and make contracts with them
3 - Whether Apple is not giving users enough choice
4 - Whether Meta is unfairly asking people to pay to avoid their data being used for adverts
5 - Whether Google preferences the firm's own goods and services in search results
Not only that, but they're telling Meta they can't implement alternative revenue models while simultaneously making them offer a free service is ridiculous.
Edit:
Under the third point, the EU says that Apple is obliged to allow users to easily uninstall apps on their devices, change default settings and be given "choice screens" to let them use different browsers or search engines.Nobody that uses any phones fucking cares. Demanding how the UX should work is beyond stupid. Nobody out there is deciding whether they want to buy a phone or not because of the iOS Photos app, wtf.
The EU says Apple's web browser "choice screen" does not give people enough choice, and said that some apps, such as Apple Photos, cannot be deleted at all.
Never seen anyone that hates people being able to choose how to use their own devices as much as reilo does
If you delete the Photos app, where will your photos go!?
I'm against old farts that don't understand software dictating how it should behave. Noone in their right mind is being hurt by not being able to delete the Photos app.
More choice screens is a shitty ass shitty consumer experience that will cause more headaches than lessen them.

By DiPro Go To Postin the photos folder.So a structured application with files and folders is okay but a structured application specifically for images and videos named Photos is not? Will they demand the Files app should be deletable next?
Watch out Microsoft, EU will demand that customers can choose a different file system on first time Windows setup. That's clearly anticonsumer that Windows ships with a file system.
I deleted my photos from the Google Photos cloud and it deleted them on my phone too. What kind of shit is that.

Various *nix distros allow you to choose from multiple different filesystems on initial install. EXT, BTRFS, ZFS, etc.
By Kibner Go To PostFinally, the year of Linux on the Desktop is upon us!While I fully support that being a thing, it shouldn't be dictated via a shitty choice screen!

Ads on ads on ads their clickthrough rate (because people accidentally click while trying to close using the tiniest fucking x) must be incredible
By Rob Go To PostNot sure why websites think this is an enjoyable reading experienceWriters rail against it all the time. The money people laugh at them and crack their whips.
