I agree. But how did like not being able to click on “Buy Book” from the Kindle app until three days ago when the court forced them?

How do you like all of the ads in the App Store and they are thinking about adding more?

How did you like having an 8GB MacBook and the overpriced upgrades until Apple Intelligence forced them to have 16GB minimum?

How did you like being stuck with Lightning ports until the EU forced them?

And the malicious compliance in the EU.

Didn’t make much difference for me, in fact I still use a phone with lightning.

The rest don’t really matter for me, I have not downloaded anything from the App Store after the initial phone setup and I don’t spend money on subscriptions. Apple being hostile to open platforms and competitors is a forty year old story.
