   @gryzor @stroughtonsmith @thomholwerda The EC is all-in on an interpretation of the DMA that holds that iOS isn’t permitted to have features that only work with other Apple products. iPhone Mirroring only works with Macs (Apple Silicon or those with a T2 security chip).

     Nope, it's not. And it's disingenuous at best to pretend that it is.

     The EC has been very explicit as to which features Apple cannot withhold from other developers, and they all have been common sense features anyone would expect.

     @gruber @stroughtonsmith @thomholwerda and why is Apple not launching mirroring in EU to begin with? What reason could they possibly have? Please enlighten us.
