According to Apple, only 38 developers have applied to add such links — out of roughly 65,000 that could.

    If this is not fined at €10 billion Euro or more, Apple will continue their shenanigans for every European judgement in the future.
    This is so obviously a bad faith attempt.

      If the EU finds apple guilty of “systematic” non-compliance, which will happen if they “continue their shenanigans for every judgement”, then the DMA doesn’t call for a fine. It calls for a TikTok style forced sale. Apple could be ordered to sell the iPhone to another company or face an outright ban in the EU.

      Of course that’s assuming the EU has the balls to actually enforce their own laws knowing full well the transatlantic political consequences.

        Leaving anything else aside, I’d be really surprised if there was any EU entity that could afford to buy iPhone in its entirety in Europe - or at least not one for whom it makes sense to do it.
