This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Surely Apple knows the EU won't look kindly on this at all?
They know this won't work long term. This is just a last-ditch attempt to keep an effective status quo for another year or so while the EU comes up with a response. Another year, possibly more, of fleecing their customers/developers.
Scummy behaviour. But what else would you expect from a massive tax-dodging multinational?
Pretty sure this serves two purposes: to not leave money on the table (as terrible as that sounds, the non-EU market is still milkable for them), and to prepare investor sentiment for the inevitable loss of revenue in a year or so.
If this isn't violating the DMA then the DMA is stupid. Legislation should limit the company's control, not force it into a specific action while allowing it to maintain as much control as possible.
In other words the DMA should effectively say "you don't get to choose how your platform is used", not "you get to make the rules, but just don't be the only one who can develop for your platform".
Who cares, if you dont like apple dont buy apple. the only way apple effects me is these annoying articles.
