      Can somebody explain to me why a company having their own operating system, their own hardware is obliged to open up? Open up to whom? They are monopolistic in what, creating Apple iPhone?

      The EU forced Microsoft to open up Windows’ Kernel to 3rd parties which can be argued provided the foundation for the Crowdstrike Crash a few months ago.

      There are risks to opening an OS up that I hope are taken into consideration, especially when it comes to security, trustworthiness and stability of the Platform.

      Poorly written article. It’s not about opening iOS to other manufacturers, but ensure features are intwrconnectable with other devices:

      “The first proceeding targets iOS functionalities predominantly used by connected devices such as smartwatches, headphones, and virtual reality headsets. The EU intends to specify how Apple should provide effective interoperability with features like notifications, device pairing, and connectivity.

      The second proceeding examines the transparency, timeliness, and fairness of Apple’s process for handling interoperability requests from developers and third parties for iOS and iPadOS.”

      I am very happy with all of the EU legislation regarding Apple so far. Hopefully, in the future, the EU can make additional changes to regulate planned obsolescence

      This is going to be another woolly stream of consciousness from the European regulators. I’d hoped things would clarify now that Thierry Breton is heading out the door but it’s all mud.

      The problem with Apples AI is that it’s integrated to the system in a way that OpenAI or Gemini could never be. It’s a base system service.

      This would be like someone saying in 2001 that Apple had to legally open the Apple menu to third parties. Or when the Mac booted up with Extensions off in 1995, that some developers could circumvent that.

      And in that it asks us to define what is part of a system service (the OS) and what is a product. In theory if you make anything that resembles a system service, the EU will fight for your to get your code in there with no questions on quality or security.

      You wrote JimsTotallySecureKernel and complain that you can’t load it onto an iphone? Yup. They’ll take your case. What a waste of time.

      I don’t like it that shitty operators like Real Networks and Epic are given to dictating how my phone works. I don’t have a problem with Apple doing it because it’s an Apple product and I knowingly bought it from them. But now we have to allow for shitty third party app stores or give a leg up to shitty no-name web browser developers that we have no interest in otherwise.

      Apple is a minority player in Europe. And I’m absolutely fine with that. I bought the product like many others.

      **If you don’t want to use it, use Android. That’s what it’s there for. And by all accounts from the people using it, it’s better.** So let’s not pretend that the people on IOS are stuck in some sort of Columbian Prison. It’s a walled garden and they want to be there.

      Now that the commission is spelling out what was clear to everyone but Apple, hopefully fruitcorp can get busy fixing their stuff and discontinue the tantrums.

      Meanwhile android is going to be blocking side loading apps. So yeah there’s that.
