Steve Troughton-Smith"We have a number of Apple issues. I find them very serious, I was very surprised that we would have such suspicions of Apple being noncompliant”
"This is not what we expected of such a company”

Paraphrased: we're not just mad, but we're also disappointed 😛
Me too, EU. Me too.
From later in the interview, specifically re questions on Apple’s Core Technology Fee:
“We have a toolbox of fines, of doubling fines, of potential breakup of companies”
"We have a very strong toolbox to ‘punish’”
…
"I expected [noncompliance] cases… I'm a bit surprised we have so many cases, so soon, and with more in the pipeline”
John Gruber@stroughtonsmith Good luck to the EU breaking up a US company.
Charlie Fish@gruber @stroughtonsmith It’s crazy how much the EU is overstepping here. The EU is not the world police.
Let’s also not forget how the EU completely ruined the internet with those cookie request pop-ups all over the web…
