Deal! You stop shipping to the EU.

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.

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.

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.

Edit: i take that back, they managed to convince people that they would pay $1000 for an ipad stand lol

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 🎉🤯✨👀

'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.

Do it

There should be penalties for, even pathetic ones, attempts at blackmailing the government/EU.

Call their bluff

Lol go fuck yourselves apple.

Ha! Yeah, and I’m gonna ask my boss to cut my income by 25%. Bullshit.

What a ridiculous thing to say. We know, Europe knows, Apple knows - that they simply can't drop European market.

Good riddance.

Sounds like another one of those "gentle nudges" that has been pushing Europe's digital sovereignty roadmap forward. Not exactly a catastrophe. Apple needs to learn that they're not in charge. The citizens should be in charge.

I dare, double dare you Tim Apple!

That would be funny. Hope they stop so leopards can visits them. Also note, shipping, not selling

Honestly, what kind of thread is that? People get pissed about it but nobody will move somewhere to get an iPhone. (at least i hope not) And the money still comes from alternative people will pivot to, its not like they take the demand with them.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!
