I can't speak for the op, but I am pretty sure op meant that some laws/regulations are necessary in society. OP is using a hyperbole to illustrate a point that without any regulation, you will have a society that will run amok.
It would be rather odd, obtuse, and/or disingenuous of davide_eu to interpret JonathanParker’s issue with the EU regulating Apple as meaning nothing should ever be regulated, don’t you think?
It’s more likely that davide_eu just wants Apple to be regulated, so they thought by stating the obvious that it somehow applies to and counters JonathanParker’s point, which it does not.

Perhaps you are reading more into it than I.

I simply took it as using hyperbole to make a point. I guess that is why message boards on the web are hard to interpret actual meaning as we do not have other cues to interpret the meaning behind posts.
 
I love it. Delay everything in the EU by a few years. They have stupid laws and don’t believe in capitalism. Let them accept exactly what they have and get new features in a few years. This is what happens when you try to regulate private companies and every rule. They are imposing rules in a free market. On a device nobody is forced to buy. For an App Store, created by a third party. Screw the EU!
Private companies are regulated in every country. Does US believe in capitalism?
If so, why there is the SEC (Security Exchange C...)? Why the stock market is regulated? In a pure "capitalist" world as you imagine, the market should auto fix any issue... So why there is the SEC?
 
RCS, like SMS and MMS, is likely to be configured by the telco or by another way of installing a cellular configuration profile.
It works already if you know how to tweak backups. The people who unlocked it commented that it‘s incomplete functionality wise (only group chat creators can add and remove people, others can‘t even leave a group chat on their own) and assumed that‘s the reason Apple disabled it for now.

It works by connecting you to your carriers RCS hub (mostly Jibe).

You know, iOS is not a gift to the world. It's a product they're trying to make money with.
If they don't try hard enough, then Android deserves to win.
Or the EU could be a little less of a **** towards a company that doesn’t reside within their boundaries. I’m all for challenging companies to prevent some problems. But here lately the EU seems a little out of control.
 
Give me iPhone mirroring and I am set. Running beta on all of my devices except Airpods. Many times before I had trouble with betas and banking apps/work vpn app. Not this time.
 
What’s the use case for iPhone mirroring? Why would someone want to control their iphone through Mac? Automated testing for app developers?
Remote support!!!!

I've wanted this for YEARS. It will make my life so much easier.

There's really no excuse for this not having been in iPhone OS from the beginning.

One is an iPhone in a more complicated mounting setup (like continuity camera or a recording rig) can be annoying to unmount to perform a simple task.

It’s good to give people the benefit of the doubt in general, but often times there are enough cues and context to where intention becomes apparent. We can disagree as to whether that is the case here.
 
Thanks for your PSA. If you’re not a developer, or at least technical enough to handle beta bugs, I’d advise you stay away from Betas.
I actually got bit by a previous iPadOS 17.x beta and had to downgrade/wipe. They apparently made some changes to Game Center to give out less identifiable information about users, and a game I was playing no longer could figure out which account was mine, so tried to set me up as a new player. Downgrading brought the expected behavior back.
When the release finally hit mainstream, Apple apparently didn't move forward with those changes, because it didn't break again.

Luckily I only use my iPad 9 for media consumption & some games, and not as my 'daily driver.' But now I'm more cautious. ;) I doubt 18 will have anything my older device can benefit from, anyway, except security updates. Especially since I'm not in EU.

I’m just hoping we get notifications in the lock screen back once the second beta arrives.
Figured it out… have to go to notifications, click count, then click list again. Then it works. Also have to do it after every restart.
