Fuck the stupid morons who defend Apple.
Imagine if Microsoft banned Windows users from installing the software they want on their computer.
Imagine if Microsoft required all software developers to give them 30% of their earning or Microsoft will ban them from Windows
The fine represents %0.1 of Apple’s annual revenue for 2024. That’s right. That’s how little the fine is in the grand scheme of things. And they are STILL mad.
Also, the EU can go as high as 10%.
20% for repeat offenders.
Historically EU fines are bad at stopping companies from trying shit, but they are good at stopping the behaviour. The money, btw, doesn’t go towards the EU’s budget it goes towards the member states’ contributions, everyone gets a rebate.
