LMAOOOO get fucked, Apple we love your hardware and your software (when properly tested first), but given you’ve had a great run with the fees now it’s time to let us own our hardware at least a little.
5%? Not messing around. No wrist slap there.
Let’s go freedom, let’s go Apple-but-the-right-way (please)!
5% daily, of global revenue.
Now that's how penalties should work.
With all respect for people who hate Apple (myself included), this doesn't look like how penalties should work. I doubt there are adequate standards of how an entity like EU can request any percentage of global revenue from anyone. What would you do if you request any more than Apple considers adequate and decides it's more profitable to just leave your market?
They cannot request it from anyone, only for those who chose to operate in EU jurisdiction.
Apple is free to not operate in the EU.
And I would welcome that. Most other people will probably not though.
