The European Commission has fined Apple over €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users’) through its App Store. In particular, the Commission found that Apple applied restrictions on app developers preventing them from informing iOS users about alternative and cheaper music subscription services available outside of the app (‘anti-steering provisions’). This is illegal under EU antitrust rules.

    I didn’t say China was bad. I said Apple was bad.

    And you can make a very good Android phone with AOSP. You won’t have Google services but you could make your own app store like Huawei and Samsung have.

        I never said China was good either. I just said Apple are being jackasses.

        Newsflash: there is no such thing as a good government or politician. They are typically all scumbags.

        Seems Apple is following in their footsteps

          There is difference between for profit company responsibilitires and government responsibilities. What EU did is in my opinion as an Apple user - they saw shit laying and they said let’s spread this shit all over the people that use those products. That’s what money penalty is and you’re claiming it’s fine and moreover you’re claiming that products that I legally bought with full awareness what they are ( I was using custom AOSP) should be banned from country in which I was born. That’s what I feal. What I feel is I should leave EU and Europe because it will kill itself by people like you. Well good luck with that attitude, becaue it would happen to you at some point and you will end up with no money whatsoever because some government administration worker will say you’re guilty of doing something that is part of your income for years.
