I hope the EU goes harder on Apple. Right now their compliance is malicious at best. If one of their features potentially violates the DMA, they just donโ€™t bring it to the EU instead of opening up the implementation to other vendors. See Live Translation for the AirPods or iPhone Mirroring.

They are strategically rallying people against the EU which is dangerous, especially in times of Russian aggression. There should be immense fines that make them comply or pull out of the EU entirely.
