Even though I plan to spend as much time as possible with my family in the US starting this year, I think that Central Europe is currently the best place in the world to live. However, there are things here that objectively must bother or upset most people who use AppleIn recent years, the EU has literally started to step on the throat Appmore and more every day. After forcing the EU to switch Apple to USB-C, which is by the way the only thing I welcome, so it continued with the need to open up the possibility of installing applications also for applications outside App Store.
In March, a year has passed since we were able to install iPhone applications outside App Store. try to answer for yourself how many applications you have installed in this way in the last year. How many alternative ones do you know? App Store and how many of them have you used? If your answer is zero, I am not surprised at all. Nevertheless, the EU, even in a situation where it sees that something it has done, as it claims for users, is of no interest to anyone, is forcing it to open more and more functions. I understand that if now everyone who has iPhone installed 1 out of 10 apps outside App Store, it would be nice to come up with other things. But that's not happening and won't happen. The EU has found out that no one actually uses this regulation and the only one who paid for it is Apple, which had to find a difficult way to comply with the EU while protecting users iOS.

Now there is talk that he will have to Apple open AirDrop for other operating systems, it will have to enable notifications for third-party smartwatches, allow applications to run in the background, enable SharePlay or, for example, automatic sound switching for headphones from other brands. For example, the last thing is a function that he invented Apple and is essentially the only one to offer this feature, thanks to the fact that it is the only one that offers an operating system for both mobile devices and desktops, as well as headphones.
Why should a company that invests billions of dollars in developing a feature now make the feature available to every single developer in the world? Apple is a private company whose purpose is to make money, just like every other company in the world. By developing a feature that it attaches to its products and allowing them to use this feature, it forces users to buy more and more products that can use this feature, and that is what every company in the world is trying to do. I don't understand why the EU needs to interfere in the business of a private company without it being clear that the regulations it has already made are welcomed by users or even widely used.
If we don't like a feature, we can switch to Android. We have the option of not using it or using an alternative. It is really necessary for the EU to follow suit. Applu and destroyed its essence to feel like it was doing something for users who didn't want it anyway and nestIs that what you're talking about? Definitely not for me and it would be nice if the EU let it Apple at home, because the things that make us happy to buy it now and use it will soon disappear for good.
Beautifully written..and unfortunately if Apple he'll get angry and ban all these things in the EU so he doesn't have to pay fines, he'll bury the whole ecosystem... thank the EU for always having to shit on something
That the EU wasn't as proactive, perhaps with ambilight...
From the user's perspective Apple system, the EU's efforts are nonsense, crap, .... bigger than the size of the universe.
Users Apple they don't use the system.
And they don't use it because they don't need it.
From the EU commissions' point of view, this is the justification for their existence; one might think that nobody needs them (!). So what would they do? And so they produce nonsense because they can argue that they are working… That the results of their work are less than nothing? Yes, absolutely yes!
Exactly! Agreed!
It's not so black and white, the EU's intention to open the system was definitely not as it seems. Apple implemented. He ran with them quite a bit, took advantage of all the gaps and made maximum to make it complicated for third parties, expensive and nobody wanted it. Of course, within the framework of security 😉. That's why now the Airdrop etc. were formulated unusually literally.
Exactly, it will be more than enough if the EU forces Apple pay normal income taxes (but to do that you need to slap Ireland, which covers up their tax fraud) and otherwise it can'tchat be.
Completely agree with the article. For me, the only thing that worked is USB-C
I completely agree with the article which is very well written.
So I completely disagree with the article, and that's me Apple user, but being open to other stories is a good thing, that Apple He suppressed the idea so that no one would want it, it's a matter of...
USB-C gave the PRO models a decent transfer speed
We're slowly getting RCS support here.
We can choose the default application (like try not tochat navigate through apple maps, after one kilometer keep to the right, it's noisy)
So yeah, some things the EU wants are unnecessary, others are fine.
What I don't understand is why can't I allow the app to run fully in the background? Why do I have to use hacks so the app can back up my photos??
Such a long article and such a misunderstanding of the whole thing… It's not (just) about the right or need to install something in your iphone, but above all, the possibility of avoiding basic fees for application developers and, last but not least, the possibility of accepting payments within the application without a tithe AppleEven if it's a tenth... The price of the application should be Apple he takes even 30% and that doesn't seem fair to me anymore. In no other sector in the EU would it be so easy, so why would it? Apple (or other big tech companies) should have an exception? Just because you're afraid that their (still quite late) AI won't work here?
I can't consider anyone who supports the USA these days to be anything other than a traitor.
Otherwise, the article is actually full of nonsense, for example, many devices have been able to automatically switch headphones via multipoint for many years, try to peek out of your (limited) bubble sometime.
I completely agree with the article.
But as long as we just complain, nothing will change. In other words, the question arises, can we as users do anything about it?
as a user nothing...
as voters... well... it will be hard, but hope dies last
