What a ridiculous thing to say. We know, Europe knows, Apple knows - that they simply can’t drop European market.
Deal! You stop shipping to the EU.
Please, Apple, do it, I dare you.
We’ve created a world where corporations expect to treat with countries as sovereign nations in their own right. They already forced America to treat corporations as people. This is why you never give an inch.
There is absolutely zero chance they exit the EU region. The Shareholders would lynch the entire C-Suite. It would be like the Murder on the Orient Express.
Apple hasn’t innovated shit in years. They can take their ball and go home. Nobody will miss them and you can pretty much rest assured they’ll come crawling back when it’s clear they won’t win. All they do anymore is piss and complain about being made to play nice with the other phones or that they don’t get to keep more of the exploitative wealth they’ve amassed.
But wait–there’s more!!! Apple has made another tremendous advance in technology, and i wasn’t even aware until i started poking around on their site: they have reinvented the wheel 🤣🤣🤣 only $700 for a set of 4 for your Mac Pro™. The possibilities are endless, just read the description:
Put your Mac Pro on wheels with the Mac Pro Wheels Kit. The custom-designed stainless steel and rubber wheels make it easy to move your Mac Pro around, whether sliding it out from under your desk or across your studio.
Seriously!!! For $700 you too can move your computer 🎉🤯✨👀
They also managed to sell a piece of cloth as “icloth” for 24.99 to wipe your fucking screen.
From “buy more, pay less” to this absolute bullcrap…incredible they pulled that off.
The only really significant Apple project in at least a decade IMO is Apple Silicon. Everything else has either been in limbo forever or is just a minor generational improvement of often questionable quality. Basically, it feels like finance and engineering took precedence over design shortly after Jobs died and everything has stagnated since.
I can’t believe whybwe allow such inequality to have apple customers by a set a set of four wheals for half the minimum wage in most European countries.
It’s getting REALLY tiresome the way every single statement Apple (Google, Meta…) ever make pretends to be standing up for the consumer when it’s transparently not.
They’ve got so used to the US MAGA culture of naked lies, that they’ve forgotten that you’re supposed to make them plausible.
They’re talking about their freedom to abuse the customers.
Call their bluff
Do it

‘Apple said that under the DMA, “instead of competing by innovating, already successful companies are twisting the law to suit their own agendas"’
The call is coming from inside the house.
There should be penalties for, even pathetic ones, attempts at blackmailing the government/EU.
Like blocking imports from them?
Quite appropriate.
Lol go fuck yourselves apple.
Ha! Yeah, and I’m gonna ask my boss to cut my income by 25%. Bullshit.
