Yes. I too enjoy seeing big tech companies face stricter regulations, and seeing the fines they receive increase. #Apple getting a record $2 billion fine for anti-competitive business practices is a good start.

To put that in perspective, Apple reported $96.99 Billion in profit over 2023.

That's an average of $265.72 Million in profit every day.

Apple will have earned enough in 7.3 days to pay off this fine.

Considering the years of leverage they've held over app developers and competing services, I think we can see they make a lot more money on these business practices than they're losing in fines.

Even record breaking fines.

One of my favorite shots from the #OnePlus12 so far while testing the phone. A little ant caught a brief ray of sun during a rainy week here in Southern California 😊
The OP12 telephoto is surprisingly good at close up shots 👍

“Anyone using an iPhone should be concerned with the security of Apple’s AirDrop function,”

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/01/12/tech/china-apple-airdrop-user-encryption-vulnerability-hnk-intl/index.html

Apple isn't any more private or more secure than any other platform. That idea is just marketing, repeated since the "macs dont get viruses" days.

It's not "hating on Apple", this is a continuing and necessary conversation about how Apple imparts a false sense of security on to their users, and how folks should be more careful with their data, regardless of what device they choose.
