Amazing work by the EU.

So… it’s a win for everyone?

it will be when they also make it easy to switch the other way.
Right now it sounds like they’re just in the malicious compliance phase, they make you burn bridges when you switch to Android so you can’t get back.

A cheap 100 bucks Chinese phone can do better than shitphone… can’t understand why people still buy those expensive calculators nowadays.

I am sure they meant “thanks to”?

It’s a direct quote from Tim Cook.

I quite enjoy my iPhone and have had one for many years. But this stubborn hostility and deliberately malicious compliance they have displayed with the DMA implementation has me really reconsidering that.
All I wanted was Firefox with ublock, and perhaps a good Gameboy emulator. But if apple is hellbent on not letting me have any of that in a sensible way I might seriously reconsider my next phone. Especially when there is a migration tool now.

Yeah “because of…” sounds like the eu are the bad guys, but they are the good ones in this case.
