The European Commission has fined Apple over €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users’) through its App Store. In particular, the Commission found that Apple applied restrictions on app developers preventing them from informing iOS users about alternative and cheaper music subscription services available outside of the app (‘anti-steering provisions’). This is illegal under EU antitrust rules.
In what world is there where less competition has been a good thing for the consumer?
Apples lock in is worse for consumers than any “competition” they provide. There are enough other brands to foster competition.
Plus don’t forget you Americans banned Huawei devices because they were a threat to Apple… Under the guise of “spying” with zero evidence thereof…talk about eliminating the competition
Wait, so you’re saying to ban Apple but then on the other hand you’re upset about Huawei devices being banned?
Apple isn’t the only cell phone maker in the USA so I’m not sure why you think Apple was the one who banned Huawei. That’s a conspiracy theory and I don’t use those to make my arguments and I don’t think others should as well.
Tim Cook meets Donald Trump and a few weeks later Huawei is banned. I mean, it’s obvious. Huawei was on its way to become the #1 selling brand worldwide.
I didn’t say I was ok with it but I’m saying if they can do it to Huawei they can do it to Apple as well …
The USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia and Europe don’t use Huawei.
It’s not the conspiracy you think it is.
One of the things in this list is different from others
Not anymore, but my 3 previous phones were all Huawei.
Lol. These are all US allies.

Bro, don’t believe everything you read. Which OBJECTIVE 3rd party has verified this?
Nobody. The US told Canada to comply or else, and they went along with the BS story.
I SERIOUSLY doubt Huawei would be so stupid as to do that. And if they did, I guarantee you they would hide it very, very well.
Do you know how much malware governments make which goes undetected for years? Plenty. That’s the name of the game. No way Huawei would make it that easy to get caught knowing the US would check for this…

UK government buildings are stuffed full of their CCTV cameras as well. Because David Cameron.
“We already have one backdoor, what’s the issue with a few dozen more” isn’t the gotcha you think it is.
