  They better increase quickly. Apples bank account is large.

    $2B on day one. Double that every instance. EU will own Apple in a week or two.

      They’ll just stop selling their products in the EU before that bridge is even on the horizon.

  Don’t tell him! Corporations being hit with massive fines is my kink!

  $2 billion, that’s 4 whole days of profits for them.

  • Aux@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    $2B is actually 2% of their profit. That’s 7.3 days.

    Ah yes but those people love money so much, they are probably devastated.🤪

      So you wouldn’t mind if 2% of your yearly salary after tax would disappear, right?

        Buff

        That’s a false comparison. Salary after tax is not comparable to profit. Profit is after ALL expenses. So if I did something really really stupid, and was fined 2% after ALL expenses, I’d say I got off easy.

        2% of nothing is still nothing 🤷

  There’s no wording in that law that says apple has to allow third party apps for alternate app stores or anything to be made available within apples app store. More like apple just has to allow sideloading. Why would Apple want to pay for the server expense of another company by-passing giving apple a share of the profits?

  I hate both companies, but if I owned Apple, I’d be after doing the same thing. Epic can get people to sodeload that crap.

    You need an Apple developer account to even make software for iOS. Alternate app stores are distributed on the web, not Apple’s App Store. Since an alternative app store is an iOS app, Apple banning their developer account means they’re banned from making one.
