If the EU counts that as non-compliance, they can charge Apple a fine of 20% of its worldwide revenue. That would be more than $75 billion. Sounds excessive, but remember that the US charged Volkswagen a fine of $30 billion. Huge companies need huge fines. Otherwise they will just laugh and continue.
And even if you're using an alternative payment processor, Apple will take 17% for doing absolutely nothing other than displaying that scary warning on the screen. LOL Wowwza, they really fell off their rockers yo!
Of course it will say no. Especially now, that Apple tried to mock EU. They tried to require MFI chips on usb-C cables for iPhones, but EU just said "No, Apple. Go F*** yourself."

No need to be aggressive... I don't use Facebook ad I was still very happy when the EU had them comply to the data protection rules ! And in this case, Apple is playing a despicable game... and whether the EU agrees with this joke or not will show if they really can show strength...
@alzalia_ no. I dont like apple either, but they are an american company, and they can do what they want within reason. If you don't like that, don't give them your hard earned money. If everyone else thought the same way, then apple would have no choice but to do what the market wants or go out of business. Or they can pull out of your market. Either way. Exercise your right as a consumer to tell them to fuck off.
I wonder how they'll enforce it, though? Going to be quite hard for *Apple* to see that I've made a payment through Facebook Pay if I execute the payment from my *Linux* desktop PC... 😉
@@dieseldragon6756 apple wants every app developer to "notarize" their apps before making them available on any app store. Which basically means they will read the whole code and if there are any indications or instructions related to making payments outside of the app, then they will ban that app, like they did with Epic. So they can easily enforce it. Only when other app stores and apps work independently of Apple, can they do what they want to do, else everyone has to follow apples rules and any deviation will result in their apps being kicked out of iOS. It's very dangerous precedent being set by a platform company. Apple is testing the limits of walled gardens and people will realise just how much contril these companies will have over them and will move to competitors who incentivise by being more open. Unfortunately it takes time for a normal, non tech-saavy customer to realise how evil they are and how much harm they are causing ( or simply how much extra money they are being extracted, which they need not have to pay if it's non apple device) Imagine Netflix or someother app with exactly same content, or games or digital services, but customers on apple are paying more than Android users😂😂😂😂. That should wake them apple fans

@@rajeshbedi They sort of are. The EU said that they would fight companies that are not following the spirit of the DMA. They didn't specifically say Apple, but it's obvious who they're talking about
They should just ban Apple from the EU because of this shit for one day and see how Apple users react (probably buying an Android immediately). I mean the EU could easily disable all Apple services via DNS (including stores and other features). I would like that. Much more effective than requesting them to pay a fine.
Apple could easily implement a simple sideloading mechanism with some warnings before enabling it and sand-boxing the apps to avoid any privacy and security issues (which is BS anyway). But no, they wanna be jerks and collect money even when downloading from elsewhere. The icing on the case is that they wanna charge 17% for using alternative payment processors by doing absolutely nothing, just sit back and watch the money roll in. Wow, their stupid arrogance and greed is mind boggling.
I love how they said "if you build an app store that doesn't have anything to do with or have any relation to us, we'll be forcing that relation, because we can".
Did you enjoy that random "what's a computer" line? I don't get that one. Apple themselves sell computers. Or are Macs now somehow not computers? Literally every device apple makes is technicalities a computer anyway
@@Danarchy3 that doesn't even make sense. Does f-droid have anything to do with google? Do i have something to do with google because i made an android app? Do you have anything to do with your stock exchange because you bought stocks? If you mod a ford, or you make custom parts and mods for a ford, do you have something to do with Ford? If you make a project build and got a ford chassis, its ford platform. But if you make a project build on fords platform do you have something to do with ford? No you dont. Maybe not the best analogy there but again, it doesn't make sense. This is apple doing apple things with force to their convenience. Whether we like it or not doesnt matter.
@darktitan8085 your missing one key point. If you build a product that isn't Ford and put it on a Ford chassis you are correct, you have nothing to do with Ford. That's not what's happening here. Your now trying to sell your not Ford/Ford and your trying to do it in the Ford show room. Now you have something to do with Ford
@@Danarchy3 disagree. You're not selling not a ford in a ford showroom. Apple has to maintain the app store same like how google maintains the play store. Theyre right to charge a commission to the app's sales and in app purchases. Third party stores are not maintained by apple, so what gives them the right to charge and monitor others? Its like saying if a certain person offers modded parts for a ford should charge a commission to that person's business. Doesn't make sense. Ford didnt make those parts. If i put a different ecu on my motorcycle, it doesnt make the manufacturer eligible to take a percentage of the profit or put regulations on what ecu should be offered just because its their engine and their chasis. The point is, what percentage of the customer base will go to that alternative? Hardly many. So its a losing game either way. Apple wants to control everything about their product. Its been their intention since the very beginning. They'll go on doing that in the name of "user protection and privacy". Whether you want that or not is irrelevant but dont try to forge their intentions by playing some morality game about who should decide what. App devs wont decide to put their apps outside the app store, they may offer something for a lesser price on their website or something at best, so again, its just what apple wants, not what anyone else wants or cares about. App store will still be a better experience anyway, so why do you care about defending their decision? Just take windows for example. Ms takes commissions from the store they maintain. But if you download the app from browser, does it make ms eligible to regulate your app just because its on windows? Makes no sense. Ms can give guidelines on what to do, such as to make the experience better, they cant force and regulate others. Same with mac os. So if youre ok doing that there why come and fight for their decisions on the iphone?
@@damjanmusic6713 yes but its not by choice, as direct sideloading is not allowed. Apple sold hardware & with its software but after that it should be user's choice how to use it & what to install & from where to install.
Heavy fines works on smaller companies. Mega corps don't think too much about it unless they face a potential dismantling like MS a few decades ago. Stratospherical fines have a high mediatic impact but, it's a hassle for administrations to enforce while they face the Mega Corp armies of lawyers. A large part of the fine will be burnt before they can start to cash in the first cent. Though, if there is one thing bureaucrats are good at is patience and resilience. In the recent years, GAFAM have taken a path for the worst. They changed the meaning of sales and ownership. Some countries do have inscribed usus fructus in the laws, which make apple's policies to restrict both "usus" (you use it how THEY want, not how YOU want to) and "fructus" (you can't do what ou want with it or have it repaired by who you want as the slightest part is firmware locked, even and especially non critical ones). Though Tesla wish to go even further than apple by forbidding reselling and implementing a way to shut down your car. Basically, they rent out their goods without the downside of maintaining costs, overcharge for maintenance you don't have alternative for and enjoying all the financial benefits of sales. The first thing should be to redefine what a sale is and that by selling things, you transfer COMPLETE ownership, rights of use and repairs. It was only 2 decades ago at most when you really own tech goods you bought and had to buy complementary insurances or subscribe to a maintenance plan. Over the years, the quality (for most companies) haven't dropped. But the user's experience sometimes tend to be a descent to hell.
We have various suppliers even if the usa is the top one but is because we are allies, even we Europeans are starting to be fed up of been usa pawns, btw we are talking about companies although companies in the USA control basically the entire government, the same way the USA destroyed huawei international market to help apple and others

Ofcourse it's about money, Apple differentiated their product by selling higher standard of security and privacy, it's like one of the 2 or 3 only reasons to get an iPhone. If they set developers free then that will result in less apps on the App Store, and what is the point of security if you aren't getting apps. Apple won't be able to say they have higher security than android if you're forced to sideload for some apps. The iPhone literally can't be the iPhone if there are unmonitored sources of apps. They make money from selling iPhones, and also from the App Store they invest resources into making sure it prevents more malware than competitors. Ofcourse it's about money, that is why businesses provide a product

Yes, it is like this woke gender fempower bullshit word bingo that apple have now acquired for themselves to reinvent the terminology of computers (which they deny to exist) in hopes to portray themselves as groundbreakers on a few frontier that in fact they make no contribution on whatsoever.
I hope that the EU says hell no to their proposal. iOS users should be allowed to download apps and app stores from anywhere and developers should not have to pay 50 cents per install and 17% of every transaction for apps that Apple isn't even paying for. MacOS allows downloading random apps. So does Windows of course and also Android.
Yeah, I would expect that the EU would require allowing sideloading, rather than just letting people get other app stores from the App Store, with Apple still able to impose such conditions on the other app stores.
Because those devices aren't nearly as portable, connected, almost always on and full of personal data and tracking features as a phone. Of course this isn't as much of an issue on Android, given the nature of Google, who love nothing more than sucking up all your private data at your expense. I don't think anyone - especially the EU - is thinking deeply enough about the serious implications these new rules create. All it has done is substitute one potential means of perceived anti-competition with another. The EU has no business interfering in this manner. You can argue all you want about a closed system, which is a separate question. Regardless, this regulation is most definitely not the answer. Besides, if people cared enough about this, they'd stop buying iPhones and use alternatives, demonstrating a true competitive marketplace, judged by the consumer, not the bureaucrats.
@@Manic154 Apparently people buy iPhones and iPads because they are pressured to. As some people use things like iMessage and FaceTime that require Apple's OSes, and therefore their devices. When people can't use iMessage because they're on Android, iPhone users think less of them for their green bubble. And schools get students to use iPads. If you ask me, they're right to be critical of SMS, because it's insecure. But shaming people into buying expensive, locked-down phones isn't the answer. They should rather stop standing for locked-down, closed things, and use open-source, cross-platform, flexible, secure things. Seriously, what do they see in iMessage or iOS? Could it be the hardware? Because I don't think that's too great either, what with the lack of SD card support and headphone jacks, and proprietary, inferior charging port. Apparently people say iOS is secure because it's locked-down, and that jailbreaking is a security risk. But Apple spies on its users, and you can't do anything about it, or hide the last characters of passwords being typed; unless you jailbreak. So NOT jailbreaking is actually a security risk too. Note that jailbreakers don't necessarily ameliorate the security risks either. In fact, I think most of them continue to let Apple spy on them, especially since their reason for jailbreaking tends to be typing Chinese or sideloading, not security. It's true that jailbroken devices can and have been compromised by hackers who weren't Apple, but it's only really a problem if the jailbreaker doesn't know what they're doing. But non-jailbreakers will face the security risks of not jailbreaking regardless of what they do.
@@samanjjit will come. They just take the biggest fights first, to figure out all the loopholes they will try and use. Once they have a standard law that can be implemented in all sectors, its easy to simply roll it out. So the more apple fight, the worse it will be for them all. It's typical that an american company and especially apple to try and force their way like they do in the US. It weird they havnt learned their lesson yet. Maybe or probably they do know and simply calculated that the profit fighting this and keep earning what they do now, is better than surrending at once. Considering their previous battles, I think it's fair to say that they know they will lose eventually. Which again makes sense why they are making it into a joke.

2:13 Apple looked at Unity's controversy and thought "why don't we make it even most expensive per install?" at 50 cents instead of at most 20 cents and at least 1 cent. Euro cents too, which is $0.54. That's absolutely insane!! Most free app users pay NOTHING and I think that the average payment per install is like 10 cents or less because barely anyone buys microtransactions I assume (and hope).

I can see what they were trying to accomplish but: Now users have a choice to buy an iPhone - a secure phone with restricted apps that you can download or android a less secure phone which you can do whatever you want with. eu by making Apple sideload apps from other platforms limits the choices for users concerned about their security - so it isn't accomplishing the main goal of giving more choices to people in the first place!

But certainly not because I would think the company wears a white jacket. Afterall, no tech corporation cares about people, they only care about money. But on the path for the money, Samsung at least takes some responsibility, while Apple never does, until forced by law. How ridiculous is it, that they blame the user for bad reception by holding it wrong, when it is a construction error? Or Macbooks snapping their internal monitor cable because it's too short and not offering any extended warranty for this error of their making? iPhones could blow up left and right, and Apple would still come up with ridiculous explanations, how this could happen but it would absolutely not be their fault. Remember the Note 7? Samsung swallowed the hard pill, took all those phones back, took a hit to it's reputation and lost billions in the process. But in the long run, is was the better decision. Apple would not have, if anything, they would have offered to change a battery at 3/4 of the cost of the whole device, of course with the customer having to pay for it. They might have come up with something like, you are not supposed to hold the phone for so long, your hands heated it up. That is why Apple is a meme.

I have to use a Mac laptop at work every day, not by choice. This is a genuine question: if you like Apple products and MacOS in particular, why? Finder sucks, so you have to look for alternatives. Window management sucks, so you have to find alternatives. App switching sucks, so you have to find alternatives. The Dock sucks and clutters itself, so you have to find alternatives. Everything takes twice as many clicks because you can't interact with a window without first clicking on it to activate it. Apple itself is the definition of vendor lock and enshittification as well. So genuinely, what am I missing? Why do people like all this shit? It's not even stable, my work laptop crashes about 20x more frequently than my home desktop running Windows 11 running the same software. Edit: I did want to point out that one thing I really do like on Mac is Automator. That's a cool ass piece of software. I just genuinely want to know what people like about Mac because I feel like I must be missing something.
Only for the show-off factor if you're talking about a general demographic, whether it's any apple product. I've had a MacBook back at college and for some reason, it used to be the centre of attention even if a pro gaming laptop is in the room lol. Apple brand got a certain allure, got to give it that. About features, not much at all but their longevity is worth noting. I remember using my 2011 iPad with 512 MB RAM and playing GTA San Andreas in 2019, zero Issues and smooth. On Androids, that time apart, at that low of a spec, it'd be a miracle
I think it depends, both systems have their advantages. I was also introduced to Apple devices by a client. After being a PC nerd and Android user, I switched every device to Apple over the last 2 years. Hard to put the finger on it. I think money is just no factor anymore, but time is. And since I have to deal with or fix a lot of software related stuff etc. as part of my work, devices that just work extremely well together, have clever functions, and are absolutely stable - in my case - have a big appeal. I think especially working in IT I was personally done with doing this, or customizing and micromanaging all kinds of things in my personal and working setup as well 😅 I still have side PCs and Android devices in operation, though. Also I have the impression, Apple, Windows/Android and Linux all have software, Functions, Features and that are really great, or that suck hard. And it is always a trade off, no better system. It just depends on your preferences and working style in the End. I have not regretted my switch. But wold also not say it is perfect, or a good investment for everyone. Just my 2 cents.
Totally have the same opinion here. It claims to be innovative and has some great features like ecosystem wide clipboard, but fails at the most basic things you mentioned. It's hilariously bad.

@alzalia_ no. I dont like apple either, but they are an american company, and they can do what they want within reason. If you don't like that, don't give them your hard earned money. If everyone else thought the same way, then apple would have no choice but to do what the market wants or go out of business. Or they can pull out of your market. Either way. Exercise your right as a consumer to tell them to fuck off.
Charging that 17% on transactions outside Apple’s App Store is WILD 💀
I wonder how they'll enforce it, though? Going to be quite hard for *Apple* to see that I've made a payment through Facebook Pay if I execute the payment from my *Linux* desktop PC... 😉
@@dieseldragon6756 apple wants every app developer to "notarize" their apps before making them available on any app store. Which basically means they will read the whole code and if there are any indications or instructions related to making payments outside of the app, then they will ban that app, like they did with Epic.
So they can easily enforce it. Only when other app stores and apps work independently of Apple, can they do what they want to do, else everyone has to follow apples rules and any deviation will result in their apps being kicked out of iOS.
It's very dangerous precedent being set by a platform company. Apple is testing the limits of walled gardens and people will realise just how much contril these companies will have over them and will move to competitors who incentivise by being more open.
Unfortunately it takes time for a normal, non tech-saavy customer to realise how evil they are and how much harm they are causing ( or simply how much extra money they are being extracted, which they need not have to pay if it's non apple device)
Imagine Netflix or someother app with exactly same content, or games or digital services, but customers on apple are paying more than Android users😂😂😂😂. That should wake them apple fans
They got the idea from the US Federal government - who charges US citizens tax on income that had absolutely nothing to do with the USA to people who don't live there

They should just ban Apple from the EU because of this shit for one day and see how Apple users react (probably buying an Android immediately). I mean the EU could easily disable all Apple services via DNS (including stores and other features). I would like that. Much more effective than requesting them to pay a fine.
Apple could easily implement a simple sideloading mechanism with some warnings before enabling it and sand-boxing the apps to avoid any privacy and security issues (which is BS anyway). But no, they wanna be jerks and collect money even when downloading from elsewhere. The icing on the case is that they wanna charge 17% for using alternative payment processors by doing absolutely nothing, just sit back and watch the money roll in. Wow, their stupid arrogance and greed is mind boggling.

Did you enjoy that random "what's a computer" line?

No you dont. Maybe not the best analogy there but again, it doesn't make sense.
This is apple doing apple things with force to their convenience. Whether we like it or not doesnt matter.
@darktitan8085 your missing one key point. If you build a product that isn't Ford and put it on a Ford chassis you are correct, you have nothing to do with Ford. That's not what's happening here. Your now trying to sell your not Ford/Ford and your trying to do it in the Ford show room. Now you have something to do with Ford
@@Danarchy3 disagree. You're not selling not a ford in a ford showroom. Apple has to maintain the app store same like how google maintains the play store. Theyre right to charge a commission to the app's sales and in app purchases. Third party stores are not maintained by apple, so what gives them the right to charge and monitor others?
Its like saying if a certain person offers modded parts for a ford should charge a commission to that person's business. Doesn't make sense. Ford didnt make those parts.
If i put a different ecu on my motorcycle, it doesnt make the manufacturer eligible to take a percentage of the profit or put regulations on what ecu should be offered just because its their engine and their chasis.
The point is, what percentage of the customer base will go to that alternative? Hardly many. So its a losing game either way.
Apple wants to control everything about their product. Its been their intention since the very beginning. They'll go on doing that in the name of "user protection and privacy". Whether you want that or not is irrelevant but dont try to forge their intentions by playing some morality game about who should decide what.
App devs wont decide to put their apps outside the app store, they may offer something for a lesser price on their website or something at best, so again, its just what apple wants, not what anyone else wants or cares about.
App store will still be a better experience anyway, so why do you care about defending their decision?
Just take windows for example. Ms takes commissions from the store they maintain. But if you download the app from browser, does it make ms eligible to regulate your app just because its on windows? Makes no sense. Ms can give guidelines on what to do, such as to make the experience better, they cant force and regulate others. Same with mac os. So if youre ok doing that there why come and fight for their decisions on the iphone?

Meanwhile the European parlement calculating how much of a record breaking fine they will give to apple
Heavy fines works on smaller companies. Mega corps don't think too much about it unless they face a potential dismantling like MS a few decades ago. Stratospherical fines have a high mediatic impact but, it's a hassle for administrations to enforce while they face the Mega Corp armies of lawyers. A large part of the fine will be burnt before they can start to cash in the first cent.
Though, if there is one thing bureaucrats are good at is patience and resilience.
In the recent years, GAFAM have taken a path for the worst. They changed the meaning of sales and ownership. Some countries do have inscribed usus fructus in the laws, which make apple's policies to restrict both "usus" (you use it how THEY want, not how YOU want to) and "fructus" (you can't do what ou want with it or have it repaired by who you want as the slightest part is firmware locked, even and especially non critical ones). Though Tesla wish to go even further than apple by forbidding reselling and implementing a way to shut down your car. Basically, they rent out their goods without the downside of maintaining costs, overcharge for maintenance you don't have alternative for and enjoying all the financial benefits of sales.
The first thing should be to redefine what a sale is and that by selling things, you transfer COMPLETE ownership, rights of use and repairs.
It was only 2 decades ago at most when you really own tech goods you bought and had to buy complementary insurances or subscribe to a maintenance plan.
Over the years, the quality (for most companies) haven't dropped. But the user's experience sometimes tend to be a descent to hell.

True, I mean Apple consumers are mostly just Apple loyalist 🤢
Ofcourse it's about money, Apple differentiated their product by selling higher standard of security and privacy, it's like one of the 2 or 3 only reasons to get an iPhone. If they set developers free then that will result in less apps on the App Store, and what is the point of security if you aren't getting apps. Apple won't be able to say they have higher security than android if you're forced to sideload for some apps. The iPhone literally can't be the iPhone if there are unmonitored sources of apps. They make money from selling iPhones, and also from the App Store they invest resources into making sure it prevents more malware than competitors.

Is it weird that downloading a program directly from a website and installing it yourself is called "side loading"?
Yes, it is like this woke gender fempower bullshit word bingo that apple have now acquired for themselves to reinvent the terminology of computers (which they deny to exist) in hopes to portray themselves as groundbreakers on a few frontier that in fact they make no contribution on whatsoever.
I hope that the EU says hell no to their proposal. iOS users should be allowed to download apps and app stores from anywhere and developers should not have to pay 50 cents per install and 17% of every transaction for apps that Apple isn't even paying for. MacOS allows downloading random apps. So does Windows of course and also Android.
Yeah, I would expect that the EU would require allowing sideloading, rather than just letting people get other app stores from the App Store, with Apple still able to impose such conditions on the other app stores.
Because those devices aren't nearly as portable, connected, almost always on and full of personal data and tracking features as a phone. Of course this isn't as much of an issue on Android, given the nature of Google, who love nothing more than sucking up all your private data at your expense. I don't think anyone - especially the EU - is thinking deeply enough about the serious implications these new rules create. All it has done is substitute one potential means of perceived anti-competition with another.
The EU has no business interfering in this manner. You can argue all you want about a closed system, which is a separate question. Regardless, this regulation is most definitely not the answer. Besides, if people cared enough about this, they'd stop buying iPhones and use alternatives, demonstrating a true competitive marketplace, judged by the consumer, not the bureaucrats.
@@Manic154 Apparently people buy iPhones and iPads because they are pressured to. As some people use things like iMessage and FaceTime that require Apple's OSes, and therefore their devices. When people can't use iMessage because they're on Android, iPhone users think less of them for their green bubble. And schools get students to use iPads.
If you ask me, they're right to be critical of SMS, because it's insecure. But shaming people into buying expensive, locked-down phones isn't the answer. They should rather stop standing for locked-down, closed things, and use open-source, cross-platform, flexible, secure things. Seriously, what do they see in iMessage or iOS? Could it be the hardware? Because I don't think that's too great either, what with the lack of SD card support and headphone jacks, and proprietary, inferior charging port.
Apparently people say iOS is secure because it's locked-down, and that jailbreaking is a security risk. But Apple spies on its users, and you can't do anything about it, or hide the last characters of passwords being typed; unless you jailbreak. So NOT jailbreaking is actually a security risk too. Note that jailbreakers don't necessarily ameliorate the security risks either. In fact, I think most of them continue to let Apple spy on them, especially since their reason for jailbreaking tends to be typing Chinese or sideloading, not security. It's true that jailbroken devices can and have been compromised by hackers who weren't Apple, but it's only really a problem if the jailbreaker doesn't know what they're doing. But non-jailbreakers will face the security risks of not jailbreaking regardless of what they do.
When will the EU pass the same law on XBOX, PlayStation, and Nintendo? How about smart TVs and Fridges?
@@samanjjit will come. They just take the biggest fights first, to figure out all the loopholes they will try and use. Once they have a standard law that can be implemented in all sectors, its easy to simply roll it out.
So the more apple fight, the worse it will be for them all.
It's typical that an american company and especially apple to try and force their way like they do in the US. It weird they havnt learned their lesson yet.
Maybe or probably they do know and simply calculated that the profit fighting this and keep earning what they do now, is better than surrending at once. Considering their previous battles, I think it's fair to say that they know they will lose eventually. Which again makes sense why they are making it into a joke.

The funny thing is: If you visit the European Parliament in Brussels, the self-service audioguides are iPod Touch devices running an app in managed mode... 😁
2:13 Apple looked at Unity's controversy and thought "why don't we make it even most expensive per install?" at 50 cents instead of at most 20 cents and at least 1 cent. Euro cents too, which is $0.54. That's absolutely insane!! Most free app users pay NOTHING and I think that the average payment per install is like 10 cents or less because barely anyone buys microtransactions I assume (and hope).
Microtransactions on mobile, including games have overtaken both pc and consoles combined. It's really sad but true.
Of all the things that pissed me off in this, cutting to “what’s a computer” really got me hahaha

@@weird-guy Dude, are you watching me, or how else do you know I have a Samsung phone? I should check for hidden cameras....
But don't let that make you think, that I am a Samsung fanboy. They also do messed up things I despise them for, and if I may get another phone from them, it's because my phone is the best companion I could think of for almost 7 years now and has never let me down. But certainly not because I would think the company wears a white jacket. Afterall, no tech corporation cares about people, they only care about money.
But on the path for the money, Samsung at least takes some responsibility, while Apple never does, until forced by law. How ridiculous is it, that they blame the user for bad reception by holding it wrong, when it is a construction error? Or Macbooks snapping their internal monitor cable because it's too short and not offering any extended warranty for this error of their making? iPhones could blow up left and right, and Apple would still come up with ridiculous explanations, how this could happen but it would absolutely not be their fault.
Remember the Note 7? Samsung swallowed the hard pill, took all those phones back, took a hit to it's reputation and lost billions in the process. But in the long run, is was the better decision. Apple would not have, if anything, they would have offered to change a battery at 3/4 of the cost of the whole device, of course with the customer having to pay for it. They might have come up with something like, you are not supposed to hold the phone for so long, your hands heated it up.
That is why Apple is a meme. I am not denying that they also do many great things, I give them credit for kicking off the modern smartphone. But they could be an innovative tech giant without being so incredibly anti-consumer. If they were, people like me might become customers of them as well and their brand would gow even further. I don't get it, why big corporations always go the villain route. And that is why I am sad, that Apple keeps rocking the field. Because they have mastered the craft of emptying people's pockets while delivering ass kicks and people liking it. I don't get it.
And about my Samsung story....... My old phone will not last forever, and while never Samsung models also seem to be very enticing, I have already another phone ready for replacing my old Samsung phone. From a little manufacturer who's known for delivering too few updates, but other than that, having a good reputation still. If they'd ever make it to the size of Samsung or Apple, that would certainly change. Seems to be a law by this stage........
No business should be forced to do what people want unless business are forcefully taking people's money and giving them the product and no business is doing this so no government should force any business to do any thing, if people like it then they will buy it, if not then they won't
this is a crime against a company buy literally a law and order complying government 😅
I wish I could opt out on government services that would be great! Not interested in social security I’ll keep my tax dollars thanks!
That’s an incredibly low bar to allow companies to do everything short of forcing purchases. Markets that facilitate trillions in commerce each year need regulation. That’s true of physical markets and now digital ones.
I guess if your internet provider operated without competition and decided to charge say 30% of your income, you wouldn’t be happy either.
@alanharper23 but if the Internet provider wants to take 30% of my money to provide H I S Service, then it is his own business choice and he should be allowed to do so because he is not forcing me to take his choice, I can deny his service this not give him any money, I have the freedom to say N O and he should have the freedom to A S K
I shouldn't force him to do a business choice that I like “in his business”
If I don't like his business then I have been given the freedom to choose other business options or do that same business with my choices instead of ME deciding HIS choices in HIS own businesses, which is clearly taking away his right to choice in his own business 😊
@@Manikanta.Rapolu Of course you can choose not to pay them, but then you would be forfeiting your internet service. Maybe your utilities provider would do the same thing. Would you want to go without internet service provision or utilities? You can see how unfettered markets can become a problem when there is little competition.
One could open an open source only App Store if you use on of the existing open source charities.
Good to know a presidential candidate was a developer at some point 2:52
Apple being scummy? No way....
Right? I couldn't believe a company with a proven record of endless scams is scamming again. Shocking.
No thanks CrApple 😙
so excited
I hope EU sees through the crap and make them change stuff
Just go with Android. Sure it’s going to take some time to get accustomed, but it does work ok and you can get good phone at 1/3 the price.
Best Android i've ever used is Samsung A5* series.
nah this is a reason more for me to stay with apple
@@ocococococococococococococ3267 Bro, it is seem you have not tried samsung nor pixel xd.
@@ocococococococococococococ3267 more money for less features for a reason of having a habit? 👍
I Commented Yay ❤😊🎉
We all have been waiting for this moment! 🤗
@@MaiAolei Yea 🙏🤣😅
All we need is a n alternative app store for alternative app stores. that way the main app store can follow the rules but the secondary ones do not
1:03 that sounded so legit and funny 😂
I love how Apple’s response to the EU is an FU. That made me laugh.
You know what's funnier? The hefty fine they're getting after they implement this one 💀
@@medo_0x00 yep 💀
How do you get the EU to listen to a company like Apple? Simple, just replace "e" with "f", so it's FU!
That's literally the first joke in the video
I've only bought a couple of things through the App Store, and it was a pain in the arrrrm.
🍎 is 🗑
Ohhhh the EU is NOT gonna let this one slide
Commies gonna commie what can you do
@MacMe95 The EU is made up of 27 capitalist democratic countries.. you might need to consult a map, You are probably thinking of Russia ( who are plastic communists)
😂😂nahhh bro you are good
This was very funny from beginning to end
U lucky u don't have a developer account 😂
Apple is a marketing company! Their marketing is so good, people really think they are buying state of the art tech
they are... Basically all top phones are the same. Apple charges an extra 150-200$
I have to use a Mac laptop at work every day, not by choice. This is a genuine question: if you like Apple products and MacOS in particular, why? Finder sucks, so you have to look for alternatives. Window management sucks, so you have to find alternatives. App switching sucks, so you have to find alternatives. The Dock sucks and clutters itself, so you have to find alternatives. Everything takes twice as many clicks because you can't interact with a window without first clicking on it to activate it. Apple itself is the definition of vendor lock and enshittification as well. So genuinely, what am I missing? Why do people like all this shit? It's not even stable, my work laptop crashes about 20x more frequently than my home desktop running Windows 11 running the same software.
Edit: I did want to point out that one thing I really do like on Mac is Automator. That's a cool ass piece of software. I just genuinely want to know what people like about Mac because I feel like I must be missing something.
Only for the show-off factor if you're talking about a general demographic, whether it's any apple product. I've had a MacBook back at college and for some reason, it used to be the centre of attention even if a pro gaming laptop is in the room lol. Apple brand got a certain allure, got to give it that. About features, not much at all but their longevity is worth noting. I remember using my 2011 iPad with 512 MB RAM and playing GTA San Andreas in 2019, zero Issues and smooth. On Androids, that time apart, at that low of a spec, it'd be a miracle
I think it depends, both systems have their advantages. I was also introduced to Apple devices by a client. After being a PC nerd and Android user, I switched every device to Apple over the last 2 years. Hard to put the finger on it. I think money is just no factor anymore, but time is. And since I have to deal with or fix a lot of software related stuff etc. as part of my work, devices that just work extremely well together, have clever functions, and are absolutely stable - in my case - have a big appeal. I think especially working in IT I was personally done with doing this, or customizing and micromanaging all kinds of things in my personal and working setup as well 😅 I still have side PCs and Android devices in operation, though. Also I have the impression, Apple, Windows/Android and Linux all have software, Functions, Features and that are really great, or that suck hard. And it is always a trade off, no better system. It just depends on your preferences and working style in the End. I have not regretted my switch. But wold also not say it is perfect, or a good investment for everyone. Just my 2 cents.
Totally have the same opinion here. It claims to be innovative and has some great features like ecosystem wide clipboard, but fails at the most basic things you mentioned. It's hilariously bad. Customers of Apple products often don't know that it's not normal to have workarounds for everything in place. 😂
Bu-bu-bullshit! 😂
Easy fix, don't buy apple products :)
Apple is Apple tho. Some people just might not be into Androids
@@davedarius7346 you have iphone launchers on android so you wouldnt know the difference as the UI would be the same and apps are already the same on both
Honestly, I'm tired of governments telling people how to run their businesses. None of these plans from our glorious leaders work as intended, and only end up screwing things up for the end users.
yep
Wasn’t this allowed?? I download from alternate online app stores all the time, and all I have to do is change some settings.
My bank had no issues with customers using iOS app to access their accounts and conduct business; however, clients with android based phones had to be constantly policed as scammers were always trying to get clients to download their version of apps that used “man in the middle” types of attacks is. While I understand the EU turning the iOS platform into public utility, the EU should pay Apple to run it as a public utility.
Did you not see what Apple is demanding ! To not see this as ridiculous means you work for Apple. or you are one of their brainwashed sheep
Ofcourse EU should pay. We need to make Apple from the richest company on Earth to the richest company in the Galaxy right?
