        Order them to open Apple Watch compatibility to Android devices. This is the main pillar holding up their walled garden. If you want an Apple watch you have to have an iPhone or iPad. If you have an iPhone you basically need to get an Apple Watch (as besides notifications not much is open to third party watch app integration on iOS). Break this and it all comes crumbling down. It's why they've spent so much more on watch development than phone over the last 5+ years.

          It’s always been stupid that you can’t Bluetooth files to and from iPhones like pretty much every other device on earth for 25 years!

              EU orders Apple to do anything. Apple gets a headache and struggles. Meanwhile EU orders Google to do anything. We already did it dear says Google.

                And just like that the EU are back to being the hero again 🤷‍♂️

                    Apple fans will cry. Because airdrop was so special and unique. Now they are nothing special anymore when a 200€ Samsung will have airdrop feature LMAO
