Please stop spreading nonsense, we are still separate countries and I hope It will stay that way.
There is no equality in EU. I don't have a pay like a German, yet food costs the same, but the quality is lower. So I find It ridiculous that you expect a foreign company to treat every EU state equal when we don't do that among us either.

Anonymous, 13 Nov 2024Geoblocking is modern day digital racism.
And no it's... moreDigital Racism: color-coding people who don't use iphone with green bubbles. (Half of the world falls into that category)
It's more about poor-shaming than actual racism. Both are just as bad. What's funnier is that even though RCS messages are almost identical to Blue iMessage-messages Apple still color-codes them as green. They refuse to offer the option to customize the bubbles to one's preference like Google does with Material You theming.

People in most Asian countries, in LATAM, and Africa can only dream about this salaries. Not to mention that life in this two countries is cheaper than in Germany, France etc. Europe is richest continent, but with falling economy cause of this situation in Ukr.

PureOS, 13 Nov 2024Eu doesn't want money, especially not from apple. They... moreI definitely agree with you.
Some people - especially those living outside of Europe - forget that rules are really followed and that laws are something that gives users an advantage.
Apple came to its knees thanks to the European Union and eventually switched to USB C. The same applies to the right to repair.
Public officials are checking on restrictions to give users more freedom and some are here to criticize the European Union. Since these people do not have the corruption etc. like in others' countries, they do not have any money to put in their pockets. They have clear rules and they look after the brands. This is how it should be. They should ask why this is not happening in their own countries.

This is a welcome ruling as far as I’m concerned. The premise of the EU is that it is essentially one country with one currency and combined budget. We are no longer seperate countries so we should be treated equally everywhere
