EU Commission fines Apple over €1.8 billion over abusive App store rules for music streaming providers (ec.europa.eu)

The European Commission has fined Apple over €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users') through its App Store. In particular, the Commission found that Apple applied restrictions on app developers preventing them from informing iOS users about alternative and cheaper music subscription services available outside of the app (‘anti-steering provisions'). This is illegal under EU antitrust rules.

Tim Cook meets Donald Trump and a few weeks later Huawei is banned. I mean, it's obvious. Huawei was on its way to become the #1 selling brand worldwide.

I didn't say I was ok with it but I'm saying if they can do it to Huawei they can do it to Apple as well ...

The USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia and Europe don’t use Huawei.

It’s not the conspiracy you think it is.
