They are so full of shit. The arguments by companies against regulation are always the same, you have to consider that companies used the same arguments to not treat employees with what we would today consider basic human rights.

Okay, Apple's defence from the article is hilarious:

The EU says that antitrust regulation is intended to promote competition and give consumers more choices. Apple argues that it is having the opposite effect.

Fewer choices: When features are delayed or unavailable, EU users don’t get the same options as users in the rest of the world. They lose the choice to use Apple’s latest technologies, and their devices fall further behind.

You. You are doing that.

Less differentiation: By forcing Apple to build features and technologies for non-Apple products, the DMA is making the options available to European consumers more similar. For instance, the changes to app marketplaces are making iOS look more like Android — and that reduces choice.

More different options means less differentation!

Unfair competition: The DMA’s rules only apply to Apple, even though Samsung is the smartphone market leader in Europe, and Chinese companies are growing fast. Apple has led the way in building a unique, innovative ecosystem that others have copied — to the benefit of users everywhere. But instead of rewarding that innovation, the DMA singles Apple out while leaving our competitors free to continue as they always have.

Because Android devices I guess comply with DMA for now, let's see again after Google starts cracking down on non-playstore apps harder.

And nothing of value was lost

My LinkedIn is flooded with Apple bootlickers outraged at the EU regulating everything.

As always, they’ll never ever ever go into detail about what specific regulation is it they disagree with, because that would involve them having to admit that they want to do horrific levels of privacy invasion and IP theft.

New features, like aluminium instead of titanium? Or a single camera instead of 3? How will we survive

Oh no.

Anyway..

Good. Go fuck yourself Apple. Do your job right or don't bother doing it.

Crosspost to uplifting news!

…what feature? What hardware? The same features and hardware was released in last 4 models!

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Which is a lie, of course.

And? What about the cons?

Don’t listen to Apple they make the experience worse for Canadians by forcing their appstore monopoly on us.

Good, they can keep their new-crap-every-6-months for themselves

Ok.
