The European Commission has fined Apple over €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users’) through its App Store. In particular, the Commission found that Apple applied restrictions on app developers preventing them from informing iOS users about alternative and cheaper music subscription services available outside of the app (‘anti-steering provisions’). This is illegal under EU antitrust rules.

    I wish the EU would just ban Apple altogether and be done with it! No more sales of anything Apple.

    Close all the stores, both local and online, stop selling accessories, stop selling macs, iPads, TV etc.

    Let current device owners use it until it breaks and then recycle it.

    End of story. That company is just poison. The apple logo suits them - it’s the poisonous apple given to snow white!!
