Apple Intelligence Features Not Coming to European Union at Launch Due to DMA

[vantelimus]

My final word on this subject:

Europe introduced the DMA largely as a protectionist measure to hurt American companies that succeeded in areas where European companies failed. It is the nature of competition that some succeed and others fail. This time, success has visited American and Asian companies and left Europe behind. The regulators in the European bureaucracy are doing what bureaucrats do: seeking power and playing petty political games for the benefit of wealthy patrons while using rhetoric that appeals to the hoi polloi.

As has been shown by many posters in this thread, the rationalizations of the DMA's advocates are all over the place. They are self contradictory. They contradict behavioral science. They lack evidential support. Indeed, the evidence from the Android app market shows that the changes forced by the DMA don't work in the mobile environment today.

The die has been cast. The EC is forcing backward-looking changes on their market. They will slow the introduction of the future to that continent cum museum. Even nominal European companies will find it advantageous to compete outside Europe, where change and innovation are not only possible but embraced.

Alright, do you have Huawei products in the US?

Alright, do you have Huawei products in the US?

Huawei's problems in the US have to do with it "knowingly and willfully causing the export, re-export, sale and supply, directly and indirectly, of goods, technology and services (banking and other financial services) from the United States to Iran and the government of Iran without obtaining a license from the Department of Treasury". Because of Huawei's export of technology to Iran, many other countries have also banned or restricted Huawei products as part of their defense policies, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, India, Japan, Estonia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and other EU countries.

We do have Honor-brand phones, which were formerly Huawei, and were sold to another PRC company that doesn't violate US-technology export controls.

Huawei's problems in the US have to do with it

Or, is it the US have problems with Huawei, one of the top technological companies in the world?

Honor is a child of Huawei, and what has US "export control" has to do with it? We have both Huawei and Honor products. US sanctions are only hitting the US consumers, haven't you thought about that?

Your question was already answered in the part of my post that you selectively deleted in your response. Restrictions on Huawei have to do with it exporting US technology to a country known to sponsor terrorism. Your attempt at a rhetorical question fails due to the fact that many of the world's nations, including many in the EU, have bans or restrictions on Huawei products due to Huawei's relationship with Iran.

You are certainly capable of doing a google search finding that out for yourself. Troll someone else, please.

Now, which country is that "known to sponsor terrorism"? What might be that US technology? Don't you have Iranian and Chinese embassies in the US?

There is a Chinese embassy, but no Iranian one, (in large part) because they're a state sponsor of terror and we don't have diplomatic relations with Iran.

Can you explain that "state sponsor of terror" to someone living in Gaza?

It may be about time Europe restrict the use and sale of technology from countries that sponsor terrorism and war and engage in global surveillance.

I know which country would be among the top of the list.

Would that be the same country that europe is dependent on for its security? 😆
