We have been The European Union is angry APPLE quitesince the losses due to impositions of this organism are high, and it must be remembered that the iPhone changed light for the USB-C due to the EU prohibition of marketing devices that did not have this universal connector.
In addition, it is expected that the batteries can also be self -refers, having to change the format of the iPhone for this, before 2027, for another of the multiple standards of this European Union, which makes Apple never create something to your liking.
However, this is not all, since if it were that, it could be overlooked, however, with so many laws, it makes, sometimes, Apple breaches any, wanting or unintentionally, which makes them receive Fines by this organism periodically. The last, this week, for 500 million.
What happens to the EU and Apple
The European Union has fined Apple with 500 million euros for not allowing apps to inform users about cheaper ways to pay outside the App Store. According to Brussels, this limits competition and goes against the new digital rules. Apple has 60 days to change these practices or risk more sanctions. The company says that it will appeal, claiming that the measures affect the privacy and safety of users. This is one of the first major actions under the new Digital Markets Law. Goal was also fined, with 200 million, for similar reasons. Although this occurs in the middle of tensions with the US, the European Commission ensures that it is not a retaliation, but about applying the law fairly for all.
However, Apple does not understand this, and begins to be tired that everything negative comes from the continent where Spain is located, which could impact on a price increasesomething that we have already seen with respect to the dollar in recent years, thus trying to pay for the fines and losses that come from Europe, because they are not dating them as profitable as other places.
In summary, the EU continues to fine and generate losses to Apple, so, while the profits are reduced, we cannot wait for a favor for its part, and the price of the products, quite possibly, will rise, especially using the excuse of the change of currency, being harmed, since it is clear that they will not help us after everything. This is not expected to end, and as long as the policies remain these, Apple will have to fight, and much, against our community, since they will not make it easy with laws that, in my opinion, and sometimes, they are disproportionate, and do not really allow free market.
And you, what do you think of this? Do you look good for them to be forced at certain points, with such large fines if they do not comply? Or should they be able to make, within limits, what they want as a company? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
