   Apple will not ship Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring and SharePlay Screensharing in the EU this year because of the Digital Markets Act.

   The company blames interoperability requirements which would force them to compromise user privacy and data security. 🙃

   The EU’s journey to legislate getting shittier versions of American tech products is almost complete. It’s all going according to plan I guess. 🤷🏾♂️

     @carnage4life Apple are pissed because they want to stop anyone offering subscriptions direct to iPhone users. They want their 30% cut of every transaction related to an app that runs on their phones. And the EU is penalizing them for their anti-trust behavior.

     There are of course lots of people who think Apple are the good guys and those challenging their anti-competitive practices are evil, and/or shooting themselves in the foot when Apple retaliates.
