    The company further claimed that the European Commission has almost exclusively focused its enforcement measures on Apple. The iPhone manufacturer has been targeted by the commission five times, which it says is more than all other competitors combined.

    That’s because you have significantly more restrictions than all other competitors combined.

      the commission should preventively sue google for what they are planning to do with their full lockdown of android in 2 years. their plans almost certainly violate the dma by artificially restricting 3rd party app stores. bonus point would be that apple couldn’t say this anymore.

        Yeah well:

        1. That’s then and this is now
        2. They haven’t even figured out how to effectively stop Apple so I’m not too confident in their abilities.

    We should also get rid of seatbelts, and let construction workers put asbestos back into things then. How dare these laws inconvenience a multi-trillion dollar corporation

    Unfair competition: The DMA’s rules only apply to Apple, even though Samsung is the smartphone market leader in Europe, and Chinese companies are growing fast. Apple has led the way in building a unique, innovative ecosystem that others have copied — to the benefit of users everywhere. But instead of rewarding that innovation, the DMA singles Apple out while leaving our competitors free to continue as they always have.

    I don’t get this? isn’t samsung android based which allows sideloading by defaul?

      It’s a strawman argument yes, but it is soon to not be the case because of changes to sideloading on the android side.
