“Bureaucrats in Brussels” are unfairly challenging Apple’s closed ecosystem and denying users the “magical, innovative experience” that makes the firm unique, Apple said.
The so-called walled garden that combines Apple’s products and software ensures a safe and high quality experience for users, it says, but EU regulators counter that it unfairly shuts out rivals.
It’s not about what apple wants. It’s about consumers having the freedom to do whatever the fuck they want with their device. If i buy a chair and want to add a 5th leg Ikea has no say in the matter so why should apple have a say in my app choices?
But the consumer does have a choice. They have the choice not to buy apple. Right? Its not like they hide this fact. You know what you are buying into.
“I get to do whatever I want” not according to the Ts&Cs you agreed to when you turned the phone on. Again, you knew what you were getting into. So why are trying to force someone else to do something, when its perfectly reasonable that you just dont buy the thing that doesnt suit your needs?
no I don’t have that choice, see my other comment
No, you do have that choice. You just dont like that choice. Fuck your other comment. Its bullshit. You just want something you cant have, like the other cunt acting like hes superior to anyone else cos “he knows better”. If you dont like what apple does, DO NOT BUT IT! Stop trying to get governments to do your dirty work for you.
Have you tried to have a smart phone outside of Apple or Android? They are clearly operating as a duopoly at this stage, they need tackled
Yes, the issue wasnt apple or android. The issue was support for various app makers. I LOVED windows phone.
Regulations like these exist to protect people who can’t protect themselves.
The average apple-user is too stupid to understand or appreciate the value of an open ecosystem, so it’s up to those who know better to fight on their behalf.
lol Yeah, dont talk utter shit. Apple “just works”. Thats what most people want. They dont want an open platform, full of viruses, malware, and every other fucking thing that makes running windows a pain in the arse. The utter state of you “I know better than all the simpletons”. Could you be any more up your own smelly arse?
It’s the truth whether you like it or not.
Viruses are malware, for example. You’re completely clueless and feel embarrassed that someone dared mention it’s a trait of people who buy apple products.
You should educate yourself instead of getting mad at those who are more knowledgeable than you.
Virus are a subgroup of malware you fucking spoon. All viruses are malware, but not all malware are viruses. I suppose I should have listed off all types of Malware just to keep the pedantic among us satisfied
Either you’re trolling, or just proving me right about the mental capacity of the average apple user. You tried to make a list by saying 1 thing because you don’t have any idea of what you’re talking about.
You really should just take the L and move on. You’ve embarrassed yourself enough.
I didnt say that. You did.
I said viruses and malware, because thats the language that most people can readily identify. You, being the spoon eating cunt that you are, decided to go all big brain bob. Trying to look like an intellectual, but in the end just looking like your typical pedantic reddit user. All blow, no suck. The only L here is you, and I wouldnt take that if you fucking paid me.
No, you tried to make a list that amounted to saying only 1 thing: that Windows has malware.
Now you’re just flustered and trying to save face. It’s unfortunate that you’re not taking this opportunity to reflect and learn, but I can’t say I expected more from the average apple user; you pride yourselves on ignorance.
no, we don’t. Android is becoming the same thing. So intervention is needed
