"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 What do you expect when you enforce the “spirit”, rather than letter, of the law? The CTF doesn't violate the letter of the DMA either and Apple is going to get dinged for it.

@gruber @stroughtonsmith What do you expect when Apple continues to push consumer and developer unfriendly policies?

Apple could *easily* do the right thing here for both. That they don't leaves me with zero sympathy of whether they actually violate the letter of the law.
