"iPhone Mirroring, SharePlay Screen Sharing enhancements, and Apple Intelligence”

Apple's screen sharing being the only one with remote control is very clearly self-preferencing. iPhone Mirroring, though? Beats me. None of these actually hit upon DMA rules directly, so maybe Apple's just pulling out the dirty tricks to try to turn users against legislators. If they applied this imaginary criteria to all their existing software, they'd have to un-ship virtually everything

@stroughtonsmith My guess is that they believe there's legislative uncertainty on how DMA is applied. Therefore, they prefer not to release these features now to avoid wasting time on compliance and risk additional fines until all is cleared up.

@tovkal @stroughtonsmith baffled how iPhone mirroring falls afoul.

@tarasis @stroughtonsmith No Android support, no PC support, uses private APIs not available to third party developers (aka unfair competitive advantage)
