Anti competitive behavior? Over an App Store that’s only important because of the success of their phones. Phones that people don’t need to buy because there are alternatives? Miss me with actual harms being done.

Edit: Of course your anti-Apple bias shows and you downvote anything going against the circle jerk

I'm pretty sure a middle-schooler could understand the EU Commission's reasoning here: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/api/image/conten...

You might disagree, but this is an Apple-specific behavior that does demonstrable harm to the market and consumers. Apple was flippant towards Dutch regulators when they were being investigated over this, and that negligence earned them scrutiny on a much larger stage. The further Apple doubles-down, the more legislative artillery the EU will dedicate to stopping them; this reversal on Epic's account is evidence that Apple doesn't see light at the end of their tunnel, they're not building a defensible case.
