I am in awe. Their cookie banners were consistently annoying but probably didn’t hurt any individual this much. If I were an EU resident I would probably learn about “you can just do things” from this.

I am an EU resident and I'm about to cancel the APP3 order that I made. If Apple doesn't want to comply with the regulations that protect me(1) I'm not blaming the EU, I'm talking my money somewhere else.

Actually this is the second time I'm frustrated by this, I was surprised to discover that iPhone Mirroring is also blocked. This is strike 2 for me, one more and I won't buy another Apple product.

1) the EU has a lot of stupid regulations but the DMA is not one of them

How are they not complying with the regulation? This is what compliance looks like.

This is exactly what Apple want you to feel like

Might be a blessing in disguise, forcing EU members to learn languages, whilst non EU members watch one more hour of TV with that time given…

Or they just become more inefficient… either way, it’s going to be fun to see the results.
