Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators

But the consumer does have a choice. They have the choice not to buy apple. Right? Its not like they hide this fact. You know what you are buying into.

“I get to do whatever I want” not according to the Ts&Cs you agreed to when you turned the phone on. Again, you knew what you were getting into. So why are trying to force someone else to do something, when its perfectly reasonable that you just dont buy the thing that doesnt suit your needs?

Have you tried to have a smart phone outside of Apple or Android? They are clearly operating as a duopoly at this stage, they need tackled

  Yes, the issue wasnt apple or android. The issue was support for various app makers. I LOVED windows phone.

no, we don’t. Android is becoming the same thing. So intervention is needed

Regulations like these exist to protect people who can’t protect themselves.

The average apple-user is too stupid to understand or appreciate the value of an open ecosystem, so it’s up to those who know better to fight on their behalf.

  lol Yeah, dont talk utter shit. Apple “just works”. Thats what most people want. They dont want an open platform, full of viruses, malware, and every other fucking thing that makes running windows a pain in the arse. The utter state of you “I know better than all the simpletons”. Could you be any more up your own smelly arse?

    It’s the truth whether you like it or not.
    
    Viruses are malware, for example. You’re completely clueless and feel embarrassed that someone dared mention it’s a trait of people who buy apple products.
    
    You should educate yourself instead of getting mad at those who are more knowledgeable than you.

    Virus are a subgroup of malware you fucking spoon. All viruses are malware, but not all malware are viruses. I suppose I should have listed off all types of Malware just to keep the pedantic among us satisfied
