Sounds good to me!

I wish Samsung would do the same. They just pushed a "security update" that has also added "AI" to a half dozen baked in apps. It's not clear how to disable it (but now I'm home again, I guess I'll look into it).

Apple said on Friday: “Due to the regulatory uncertainties [that we can continue to control customers’ property] brought about by the Digital Markets Act…”

Fixed it for them.

anticompetitive behavior

How? They are making their own products worse by not including all the features they could. It’s a self-inflicted handicap which makes competing products, those that are willing to include AI powered features in the EU, just this much more appealing.

Up to this point EU has been on a mission to force Apple in a weakened position compared to the rest of the market. Now the added competition is a problem for EU?

If I'm interpreting the quote correctly, it's because if they have to exclude the EU because of competition laws, that implies they know it's anticompetitive in some eay, yet roll it out elsewhere anyway.

Which shouldn't be surprising though, if companies refrained from anticompetitive behaviour because they think it's wrong, we wouldn't need these laws.
