1.8 billion is around 2% of their last year's net income. At least it's a bit better than the insignificant wristslaps companies tend to get.
True but it's nice to even see numbers like this thrown out at all nowadays, especially at Apple.
Apple doesn't often win appeals for EU fines
Global net income, yes. But it is 5% of the income from the EU. As much as I dislike Apple, the fine seems to be reasonable. I do want to see it bumped up if they keep on with their horseplay.
