"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 This is a non-trolling reply (really). I support people in the EU's right to not be forced to pay Apple via either AppStore commissions or via the CTF. I really do. Get apps from alt stores with no fees to Apple. But then I also support Apple not shipping (certain?) features to the EU. You buy your iPhone and get what's on it at that time. Nothing more. No OS updates, new features, new APIs. Cut off iMessage. Cut off iCloud/CloudKit. Hide my Email. Private Relay. Etc. 1/2

@leoncowle @stroughtonsmith They might as well stop selling their products in the EU then.

It’s amazing one of the world’s richest companies can’t figure out how to do business in the EU.
