Customers need a company that acts and reasons like an adult.
The EU regulations will require them to do insane amounts of custom work building a public API for Apple Intelligence. Imagine how hard it will be to make that interface secure, private, not terrible for users.
The other features like mirroring are much simpler, but still, is it worth making a public interface and taking the security and privacy risks just to offer the feature in the EU?
Every new feature in the EU is now a massive liability, so of course they’re going to be more cautious what they release.
Everyone rightly criticised Microsoft for providing such a capability and they would do the same with Apple as well.
EU would be insane to push Apple on this.
Such an app would be breaking GDPR.
Obviously not
GDPR has no bearing on what apps can and cant do, as long as they ask you permission for their use of personal data first.
No, where did you get that idea from?
Today we have decades of experience that the majority of users are not capable of making informed decisions when it comes to topics like app permissions. Especially the flow on implications e.g. allow the app to record the screen could mean your bank details are exposed.
Apple are the biggest company in the world. If they wanted they could hire 1000 developers to throw at this, and it wouldnt even dent a single percent of their profit.
Apple could very easily do this if they wanted to, heck they could do absolutely anything they want with their money and clout, but they dont.
However I believe Apple easily has the money, developers, and ability to do this if they wanted. Look at all the other amazing things they do, anyone who argues this is hard for them is delusional IMO.
Apple, as with most mega-cos, needs to be reigned in and corralled by the governments of the world. But let's be real that the EU in some of their actions has grossly overreached and offered up impractical demands, while strangely targeting only American companies.
