That's very inaccurate information.

It's basically only the government officials who can't have the app installed on their phones, for security reasons.

That's it.

They often do. Merchandise too, if they are big.

So far.. Next model will be even better, and it won't stop getting better.

Fair, then everything I can find on the Internet must be freeware too. Set the sails, matey!

Amazing. Great job, India, and all other regions who also have passed this.

Yeah, again it's EU setting a standard and the world is to follow. It's amazing what we the people actually CAN do, if we just stand up to big corporations.

They also often brand something as "best in the world" when in reality it's US only. And they are literally 4.2% the population of the entire world.

The malware thing still deserves a headline. They just argue it's stupid so many even have to use the library to begin with.

So they did it, but purposely didn't do it well enough. Next time it's a 10% fine.

I actually agree with you, that Apple most certainly will stall. And I also don't think it's optimal, but huge decisions on how to go forward do take time.

And I just think it may be better in the long run, that it seems more "fair" for the company, even thought it's not.

Also, if Apple doesn't comply this time and tries to find a new bullshit form of non-compliance, there's no second chance according to the EU law. The fine will hit, so they certainly won't do that.

Yeah, they will, but I think for this to work and be respected, they need to give companies this period, because it actually could take alot of time to change.

In this case, not so much, but it could be in the future, and the rules are the same regardless.
