Apple did some sort of "tech innovations" through years, but its economical success has always been based on its locked down ecosystem.

Apple's marketing about its customers being part of an elite, hence zero compatibility with the 'mass', is disgusting imho.

Glad to hear it could be over, especially if it comes from US lawmakers.

EU has been trying to regulate them for years.

Were perhaps finally getting somewhere with this. I'm still afraid it's too slow though.
