They aren't mad about the app store. All they did was just create a separate pay structure for non apple app store apps which effectively makes it impossible to afford to create a successful app outside their ecosystem. Those pieces of shit probably feel pretty smugly proud of themselves for flouting the regulation, but I hope the EU brings the hammer down much harder because they clearly are trying to get around the entire point of the regulation.
Their attempt to maliciously comply is both against the spirit of the law - making it a violation in the EU regardless - and the letter of the law: the text mentions that they can't charge for this.
Time for a nice 10% of global revenues-fine. That'll do some good in the coffers of the EU.
Oh I so hope you are dead on here. It would be an incredible step forward for modern society. Our world revolves around this tech and it's about time someone stopped the low hanging fruit aspects of how it's corrupt.
Perhaps Apple will fund those 800K artillery shells for Ukraine?
Man, if we discover some cancer killing thing and a time machine that can go back it time the first thing I would do would be to help Steve Jobs get better, literally apple just got worse and worse when the "innovator" got replaced by the "logistics and finance" guy
Just look at how Steve did things, if he was confronted with this problem he would probably just do it android style and not screw over people like Timmy does
I fundamentally believe what Apple has become is the inevitable consequences of a company being successful under capitalism. For one thing we see this with all of them not just Apple. Apple just goes to excessive lengths to fuck people over for a couple extra bucks
He "innovated" this behavior (and nothing else).
He would definitely find some better-looking and more diplomatic solution, but I actually like that this company is worse at deceit now.
Wouldn't it be better to go back in time and erase all the apple founders and developers?
Would PDP-11 become dominant in personal computing then, I wonder?
In USSR there were personal computers based on this architecture (there were Apple II clones too).
I'm far too young, but the PDP-11 ISA seems very nice.
That would probably result in non-modern smartphone like devices.
I like my magic rectangle.
Cursed device. We should be using rotating phones and flip phones.
