Of course they wouldn’t be. They will find the worst possible to comply while not actually making it realistically usable. Malicious compliance at its finest.
Here's the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
Malicious compliance (also known as malicious obedience) is the behavior of strictly following the orders of a superior despite knowing that compliance with the orders will have an unintended or negative result. It usually implies following an order in such a way that ignores or otherwise undermines the order's intent, but follows it to the letter. A form of passive-aggressive behavior, it is often associated with poor management-labor relationships, micromanagement, a generalized lack of confidence in leadership, and resistance to changes perceived as pointless, duplicative, dangerous, or otherwise undesirable. It is common in organizations with top-down management structures lacking morale, leadership or mutual trust. In U.

I don't get why anyone trusts Apple. I can't think of many things I've heard about them that didn't make me think "well there's Apple being Apple". As bad as the others can be, none have the audacity to do it like Apple does.

Not sure how that compares to the response from other companies though. But I would guess favorably, from a user privacy perspective?
They also have faced pressure to scan iCloud content, but have afaik refused https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/victory-apple-commits-encrypting-icloud-and-drops-phone-scanning-plans
I consider both of those mixed bags. Apple said the right things, but in the first case the FBI got in anyways (implying there was either a back door or it wasn't secure in the first place), and the second one says they "dropped plans".
But it is an area where ambiguity might still be a step up from how other companies handle law enforcement requests.
Since it’s all proprietary and locked down they can say anything and do something else.
Our money and time is our real vote. My vote is " Don't give money to apple". There are enough and great alternatives.
As per Apple's wishes, I imagine.
@aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me poster art showing a spooky-looking, non-beneficial third-party app store on an Apple iPhone in Europe. The iPhone is a central element on a gradient background. The third-party app store on the screen seems hostile. style: fustercluck
Yes boss!
Wait is this a person or did it actually start working?
Yes
Epic lost their case with Apple regarding Fortnite, yet now Epic are looking to make Fortnite available on iOS in EU. But from the article it seems an alternate "app marketplace" would still need Apple approval anyway. It will be interesting to see how all this is going to work.
Seems the EU law is pretty clear about not creating barriers for competitors. I suspect Apple is going to get slapped by the EU... Maybe not immediately, but my guess is before 2026. This stuff doesn't move fast.
Not beneficial for their profit. Beneficial for both users and developers.
No it still is, it's heavily regulated and not even close to what you get on Android
