You may think this is silly, but USB-based malware is absolutely still a thing in some countries.

"what the Commission is demanding from Apple" — the European Commission isn't demanding anything, the law is demanding it. The laws have been in place for several years now, Apple is currently in default of the law on several fronts, and is fighting its existing fines. There is no 'position' to be backed down from on the EC's side, and somehow this many years in Apple still doesn't understand that, despite losing every tiny little argument it has kicked up over the DMA. Over and over

The planned gas-fired capacity **JUST FOR DATA CENTRE ON-SITE USE** in the US is the same as *all* planned gas capacity in India, Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea and China *combined*.

Based on my analytics it looks like watchOS 27 will be available for download on around 40% of my Pedometer++ user's watches. Which feels pretty small. That will certainly be boosted by whatever new devices get announced this fall, but it feels like I'll be supporting watchOS 26 for a very long time as a huge number of devices will be staying there.
For all of Apple's nonsense about adding iPhone Mirroring to the EU, the new Device Hub (iOS Simulator) lets you remote-control your physical iOS devices just fine. I don't think the DMA has an opt-out for developer tools 😛

Das ist for real die enttäuschendste #WWDC seit ich mich erinnern kann.

Alles was sie geshippt haben sind AI Updates die vor zwei Jahren versprochen wurden. Performance Updates die sie über Jahre vernachlässigt haben & Fixes für Liquid Glass, das sie letztes Jahr verkackt haben.

You can even resize the simulator, here’s what a widescreen iPhone would look like NO REASON WHY YOU ASK

„Not available in the EU“ 🤡🤡🤡

Time to break iOS completely open. Force it to allow system level alternatives.

This is the future Apple Executives want. Completely self inflicted. #wwdc 

More like macOS Alcatraz if you're under 18, amirite?

"In the last six years, billings and sales facilitated by the App Store have more than doubled in China, and more than tripled in the U.S. and Europe."

So you mean you weren't materially affected in any way, shape or form by opening up iPhone to third-party app stores and sideloaded apps, and there has been zero malware crises or PR disasters in that time as a result?

Who would have thought. It's almost like you burned all those bridges with developers for /nothing/.
