It's amazing how some are failing to recognize the flawed logic. Really baffling.

EU Accuses Apple's App Store Steering Rules of Violating DMA and Opens Investigation into Developer Fees

Did you read their post? They're saying that you cannot tell your customers the truth about Apple's policies within your own product, not in the App Store.
Yeah, this is some real 1984 ****.
Do you see advertisements from Lidl inside Aldi telling customers what the commission fee of Aldi is?
Nothing what Apple does is out of the ordinary if you look at what other stores are doing.
Again, just because you think the logic is flawed doesn’t mean others don’t see it as a helpful analogy.
I almost have to admire the gall on the part of Apple
The level of control over third parties they are trying to exert and defend is fairly breathtaking
Just shows how corrupting money can be
Well, hasn’t the so-called spirit been prevailing for some time now? You think Apple has prevailed over all of these years because they were in line with the letter of the law? Then why aren’t they protected now? Or is the EU going with emotions?
Let me repeat myself for the peeps in back;
Apple does not let you talk about Apple's fees inside of your own product. Nowhere do I say anything about saying this in the Store.
They're called logical fallacies. A hallmark of arguing in bad faith. They know their logic is flawed but make the argument anyways to hope that nobody thinks past the surface level.
Really tired of all this bogus whining. People make a choice to buy or develop for an iPhone, then complain it only does Apple stuff the way Apple intends. If you don't want it to do only Apple stuff the Apple way, buy or develop for an Android phone or any other platform.
The majority of people who use Apple products aren't screaming for protection from Apple. If you are, you're incredibly stupid and/or self-centered, because nobody is forcing Apple products on you.
The EU Commission is infested by Spitify and Epic goons with an obvious agenda, and the consumers they claim to protect are the ones who will suffer.

You don't need a cable.
Just check the sync over wifi option, and have the iDevice connected to the same network as your PC/Mac. It should backup automatically.
I even have a screenshot for you to show you how:
Here is my iPhone 14 Pro doing a wifi backup... No cables attached.

Ah yes, anyone who disagrees with your interpretation of the situation is arguing in bad faith.
I'll refer you to my Post# 177 on this same thread where I explain that my business has to cater to market demands, a fact that Apple exploits.
You're completely missing what the EU is saying and trying to accomplish
It's also not productive to reduce concerns and complaints down to "bogus whining"
They have reduced the cut. Smaller developers pay 15%, and subscriptions 15% after year 1. One could argue developers got greedy and pocketed the windfall instead of passing it along. I suspect most developers will stick with Apple becasue they will be cheaper or as cheap as alternatives and reach a much larger audience.
I wish Elon would buy Apple just so I could watch him tell the EU to stuff themselves. This whole thing is getting so tiresome and annoying, and Cook is just adding to it with his beta approach. The EU is corrupt and needs standing up to, and Apple has more than enough leverage to do it... but Cook won't, because Cook.
Sigh.
Sigh.
Tesla innovation is withering on the vine
His "leadership" for Apple would cement the company as an also ran
Or they could just comply. Like every other company is doing.
Whether you or anyone likes it or not, this regulation is happening in more places than the EU and eventually this stuff will be worldwide
I guess but doesn’t mean people can’t use their brains and see other points of view lol
I think Tesla is doing okish right now. But it's pretty obvious that EM went all in on self-driving because he knows that just building cars like everyone else can not sustain a high enough margin. This is bold, but also very risky of course. If he can't pull it off, TSLA shareholders will have a veeery bad time.
Are we sure?
Tesla's unsold inventory is creating stockpiles you can see from space
Where have all the Teslas gone? Stored in parking lots, every one....

Actually, EV Sales Aren't Struggling—Just Tesla's
Tesla may have seen a big decline in sales growth since 2024 started, but EVs from other brands are still going strong in the U.S.

Tesla may be in trouble, but other EVs are selling just fine
Almost every other automaker is seeing double-digit EV sales growth.

I know. The thing is, the whole market for EVs is in a slump right now. But I think it will soon recover. It's too early to write them off like that. The cars are still popular, at least where I live. But let's not digress too much.Tesla's unsold inventory is creating stockpiles you can see from space

AndnTesla still sold more EVs in the USthan all other EV manufacturers combined. So there’s that.Are we sure?

Sooner or later this is going to go against the EU and its people. Last to the market dumb down products that lack the services that other countries will be able to enjoy with a higher price tag. Enjoy.
