The Federal Regional Court of the 1st Region (TRF-1) has overturned a trial ruling and reinstated an injunction imposed by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade) on Apple, as part of an investigation into alleged abuse of dominant position in the app distribution market for iOS devices. According to the ruling, the company will have 90 days to implement the changes mandated by the antitrust authority.
Ok, but what about game consoles? I don’t like how Nintendo is abusing their dominant position in the software distribution for the Switch.
- Game consoles don’t have a duopoly
- You gotta start somewhere
Yeah, i went Steam in stead, Nintendo makes my skin crawl with disgust.
Steam Decks are legit the best console on the market.
I don’t want to sidelode anything on my iPhone.
Well you don’t have to, but it’s always good to have options
Obviously. Better to own an android to sideload apps. More freedom there.
That’s the whole point, to force iPhone to also have freedom.
Android is becoming less free every year; the more Apple gets away with, the closer Android/Google will drift towards it.
“iPhone vs Android” is the wrong battle
It’s “Us & Gov. vs Apple & Google & Gov”
I remember jailbreaking used to be a thing on iPhone then Apple slowly integrated the jailbreak features into iPhone. Then slowly jailbreaking died, I mean not literally dead but people are now unfamiliar with that thing.
Didn’t jailbreaking pretty much die because apple made it really hard?
Yeah, and last I heard (a few years ago) anything running apple M# chips is not jailbreakable.
What’s the problem? Should those features only be available to people who know about jailbreaking? It seems like the pressure caused Apple to actually spend some money to add useful features that people obviously wanted. What’s the bad thing here?
More freedom would be to choose the phone you want and sideload whatever you want to it.
Freedom comes with a cost. I’m sure Apple will find a way to earn big bucks from this sideloading of app thing.
This is how brain-broken capitalism has made people… The concept of an effective government actually regulating a company and forcing them to spend more money to do the thing they should be doing is just completely foreign to you.
Nice!
I wonder if they will implement the same malicious compliance as they did in the EU with the junk core technology fees and notarization requirements.
They don’t even have to do that anymore. They can just whisper in trump’s ear… “go on… tariff them, kek”.
You hear that? It’s the sound of Tim Apple’s erection growing.
Brazil is really doing something together with the EU. Maybe the two should cooperate more.
Brazil gonna be new US, lol
In which areas? These news is certinatly not in that direction.
And US inaction here actually stifles the kind of capitalistic competition
