Repeat after me “lack of competition stifles innovation”. By preventing third party products from integrating with apple products Apple reduces competition and the incentive for true innovation.
The only thing the EU is requiring from Apple is that they open and document APIs they reserved for themselves. They are still free to implement new features.
Apple: We don’t need innovation, we need money.
The more money people spend the more it bothers them when you call them cultist cause deep down they know it is true.

Inb4 Apple sets up a 10 step review process behind 2 pay walls for anything anyone wants to sideload, again.
The orders should be clear: Allow anything to be installed without restrictions on apple mobile devices, including a different OS, or pay billions every month you don’t comply. Or leave EU market. We were fine before the iPhone, we’ll be fine after it.
