"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 @macrumors I mean, seriously, if you were to have to sell apps in the US and there was some kind of nebulous policy that might make you risk having to pay huge fines even on your own global income, wouldn't you pause feature rollout there until you could ensure you wouldn't be fined?

@sdw @stroughtonsmith @macrumors Apple is absolutely right to do so. The EU doesn't care about its consumers at all. Its only concern is to shift Apple revenue towards European companies. This is just a trade war between business elites. The impact of all this on the experience for users doesn't even come into play.
