Just like a regular cop, all they need is probable cause.

This is never going to happen for the same reason Apple and Google won’t let you use different backup/restore methods.

Their nitch in the American market was selling high end devices for mid level prices, now that that is no longer the case, most people would rather get a Samsung for performance, a Pixel for it’s cameras or an iPhone for all of the above.

Just a guess, but it probably has to do with their bullshit DMA meant to hobble western tech so they can attempt to compete. I don’t think it’s long before Apple pulls out as well, that DMA has cost them a LOT of money..

Congratulations, now you understand how a timeline works.

If Apple leaves, you only have one choice. Then you’ll know what a monopoly really is.

There used to be a saying, if you can’t beat them, join them.

The EU seems to have modified to read, if you can’t beat them, hammer them with legislation until you can.

Eventually Apple will pull out of Europe and I’ll be sitting back laughing my ass off.
