Headlines like this should be illegal.

Apple is forced by the EU to stop being a dick and open up their ecosystem. Apple is also purposefully making the experience so terrible that nobody will dare use it.

I hope the EU sues and bankrupts them.

Don't get me wrong, I hope the EU ~slaps Apple on the wrist~ beats Apple up until they properly allow sideloading without the user having to go through more hoops than activating it with a warning and be done with it. Without any other consequences.

But I'd hate if Apple went bankrupt. Leaving only one major player in the mobile OS market? No thanks.

You know what will happen? I do. Apple will leave Europe

Want side loading? Buy android. That’s your choice.

Apple is testing the limits but will finally comply with the regulation by opening without gatekeeping.

They try of it pass, it pass and if it doesn't, they comply.

Doesn't make a difference as everybody save the stans knows the subtext
Sue them? Based on what?

[–] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Very few who read the headline will even know the EU exists. So yes it's needed.

And the EU should sue as they have before for anticompetitive practices against many corporations for doing the very same thing. That's how the EU works and it actually produces change unlike the shitty USA.
