@markgurman Perhaps they should eliminate the charging case for the AirPods while they are at it.

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@TimSweeneyEpic @YaelOss How do you know its vastly inferior? Have you used it? Do you use Gemini? Is it vastly inferior? You have lots arguments that I totally agree with, but try not to cross the line into even though dealing with Apple must be incredible frustrating

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@TimSweeneyEpic @LeakerApple Does the EU explicitly reject the use of user data permissions as gatekeeping behavior

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@KayJebelli They made this personal. You can hear the disdain that the commission has for Apple. How can a regulator act like this? How are companies supposed to interact with them and believe they are impartial

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@AntoineChatela1 @jeromekeinborg @EU_Commission Not yet! And this is the problem. The can change the law and attempt to force Apple do this. The commission would probably lose. So here we are with uncertainty.

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@Alexintosh Does it allows you to lock your screen on the device when using it?

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@kry_kor @DenDarJonathan @EUCouncil @EUparliament I total understand the desire and even agree that Apple should do this. In fact I don't understand why they don't provide full language support for more countries. Its not a resource issue, I assume its resistance stems from its company culture.

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@DaniloCursino @ShaneTews I agree with that. But if there is one company that is cultural resistant to that type of pressure its Apple

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@Javi I think they are just not interested in providing the best language support except for English and Chinese

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@hugo_cnm Have you ever heard of second order effects.

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@DmitriLLM I think Apple should evolve iOS from a transaction controlled marketplace to an open ecosystem edge with governed runtime, infrastructure-centric monetisation and independent oversight. They would bill cpu, gpu, neural engine, media engine, persistence, low latency exec lanes etc

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@kam_pru @econcz What rule are they breaking by choosing not to release their AI features in the eu

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@i_am_fabs I think Apple should evolve iOS from a transaction controlled marketplace to an open ecosystem edge with governed runtime, infrastructure-centric monetisation and independent oversight. They would bill cpu, gpu, neural engine, media engine, persistence, low latency exec lanes use

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@DaniloCursino @ShaneTews That fair. But Apple is free to decide which features it releases in a region. You have to decide if the phone has the features you need. If not you either bear it or switch. Not much you can do

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@i_am_fabs @ShaneTews So you seriously think there is no connection between the regulation and how it’s interpreted by the commission and Apple decision. You know of 2nd order effects. The commission does bear some responsibility. To say they don’t have any effect on the decision is delusional

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@luisgguedes @kry_kor @EUCouncil @EUparliament Probably wouldn’t help. If Apple hasn’t done anything about this in 15 years it probably won’t do anything in the future Making it mandatory would not guarantee a good experience. Unfortunately if this really important to you you will have to switch to android . Which sucks.

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@kry_kor @DenDarJonathan @EUCouncil @EUparliament Apple balances implementation costs vs benefits. Providing language support for regional languages like Polish just doesn’t pass that test. Should they have done it already, probably. But it’s obvious that it’s not important to Apple.

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@kry_kor @AlexPonceDiaz @EUCouncil @EUparliament This is only partially true. Apple adopted USB-C for 1. They were already planning this, it was in the best interests of the platform as it didn’t fundamentally change the OS. 2. Lots of people forget that it was China’s requirement for USB-C that accelerated implementation.

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@zooko @TimSweeneyEpic I think Apple should evolve iOS from a transaction controlled marketplace to an open ecosystem edge with governed runtime, infrastructure-centric monetisation and independent oversight. They would bill cpu, gpu, neural engine, media engine, persistence, low latency exec lanes etc

[Scott Bain @packetspook]

@gpdawson @appfairness @matthewstoller If they drop below the dma requirements they will no longer be a gatekeeper
