Apple being Apple again. Just why does anyone actually like that company?

    Man, they’re seething against the EU, totally pissed that the legislators worked against their abuse over developers and rubbed against their cash cow.

    Apple is all about money and fucking the user, being no different from Meta or Google. All they have is shinier hardware.

      Much worse than Google IMO, at least when it comes to fucking with rules made by EU. Google usually tries to appeal legally and if it doesn’t work out, they do what they must. This Apple bulshittery with 3rd party app stores is a new one. Someone here in this thread said that the worst EU can do to companies breaking DMA is forcing them to sell the division. I would love for Apple to push EU that far.

      I’d argue they have better hardware. I’d love to have an iPhone running stock Android.

          Just read it wrong since Google was mentioned right before the start of the final sentence

        Costs a fortune, hard to repair, no SD slot, no headphone jack, until recently could not be used with the chargers you have for everything else… At least for me it is a “no”.
