Comment on Apple refuses to relax its iron grip on iPhones in Europe

Surely Apple knows the EU won’t look kindly on this at all?
They know this won’t work long term. This is just a last-ditch attempt to keep an effective status quo for another year or so while the EU comes up with a response.
Scummy behaviour. But what else would you expect from a massive tax-dodging multinational?

Pretty sure this serves two purposes: to not leave money on the table (as terrible as that sounds, the non-EU market is still milkable for them), and to prepare investor sentiment for the inevitable loss of revenue in a year or so.
