If the EU counts that as non-compliance, they can charge Apple a fine of 20% of its worldwide revenue. That would be more than $75 billion. Sounds excessive, but remember that the US charged Volkswagen a fine of $30 billion. Huge companies need huge fines. Otherwise they will just laugh and continue.

The alternate app store rule basically says -
You can only make a 1-1 copy of our App Store and you have to pay us if you want to do so.

Rules :
-Do not sideload
-No open source
-No fortnite
-No APK
-No IPA
-Live on EU

I truly hope the EU will just say "no" to this joke of a paper, and make them comply correctly...

[raycon]

I don't think this is what the EU had in mind when they passed that law 🤣

[ogdon]

Charging that 17% on transactions outside Apple’s App Store is WILD 💀

[darktitan]

I love how they said "if you build an app store that doesn't have anything to do with or have any relation to us, we'll be forcing that relation, because we can".

[DiamondMaster]

Bro that Starbucks analogy was hillarious! 17% Sip 🤣🤣

[rajmankad]

Tim saying "That's just incredible" is a frequently used clip, adds to the parody-ness of these videos.

From the company that charges $600 for a 2TD SSD. Always good value!

[Alice.]

Meanwhile the European parlement calculating how much of a record breaking fine they will give to apple

[IrminZ]

A big FU to their customers and more proof that they just care about the cash

[lukamarko]

OH NO, consumers using their OWN devices the way they want! We can't have that now, can we?

[alexandershortsandmore]

An app store, from an app APP STORE CEPTION! 🤣🤣

[Fezzent]

It always cracks me up when you throw in the Tim Cook going "That's just incredible!"

[awesomekalin]

Love your content! You deserve millions of subs!

What a cancerous behaviour, apple is getting only worse with time

[PhilipMarcYT]

EU says allow sideloading.
Apple understands it as allowing alternative app stores which they control and monetize.

lmao

[NaudVanDalen]

I hope that the EU says hell no to their proposal. iOS users should be allowed to download apps and app stores from anywhere and developers should not have to pay 50 cents per install and 17% of every transaction for apps that Apple isn't even paying for. MacOS allows downloading random apps. So does Windows of course and also Android.

[NaudVanDalen]

That last sentence gave me an existential crisis. 😆
