@lafaiel Gaming is a vertical market; general-purpose mobile OSs are horizontal foundations for life, work, and banking. The DMA targets systemic gatekeepers whose platforms are essential for modern participation, not specialized niche entertainment devices.

@_nwodtuhs Don't ignores a massive European ecosystem. What about Aleph Alpha for government-grade sovereign AI, DeepL for translation, Black Forest Labs for image generation, or ElevenLabs for voice? There is plenty of innovation. It just isn't all built in the US.

@Stephanos_ @lafaiel Choosing a platform doesn't mean consenting to monopolistic behavior. Regulation exists because those "private" choices affect the broader digital economy. A private platform shouldn't be an excuse to stifle competition or lock out innovation.

@lafaiel The DMA isn't a market share competition; it's about "gatekeeper" status. Apple is designated because its OS serves as an "important gateway" for businesses to reach consumers. Consoles don't function as systemic gateways.

@lafaiel The difference is that consoles are marketed+purchased as locked appliances, whereas the iPhone is marketed as a pocket PC. When a device is essential for modern life and functions as a pocket PC, vendor-imposed restrictions become an antitrust issue, not just a business model.

@Stephanos_ @lafaiel The existence of alternatives doesn't invalidate antitrust concerns. Consumers choose platforms, but market dominance allows a single company to impose anti-competitive constraints. Regulation exists to ensure that choice is based on merit, not artificial locks.

@lafaiel "Signed code" is a software restriction, not a hardware capability. Apple chooses to restrict its general-purpose hardware to behave like an appliance. That gatekeeping is exactly what the DMA is designed to address to ensure competition.

@Stephanos_ @lafaiel The difference is user sovereignty. A game console is designed to lock users into a single vendor's ecosystem for consumption. A general-purpose computer enables the user to act as the administrator of their own hardware, installing software from any source.

@lafaiel Hardware doesn't define "general-purpose." It's the ability for the user to install any software they choose, not just what the manufacturer permits. Consoles are restricted appliances; a PC/iPhone is a platform for any code. That's the difference.

@lafaiel As you see Apple historically marketed these devices as computers.

@lafaiel "powerful networked computing device" - Steve Jobs when presenting the iPhone. Apple's marketing for the iPad Pro "What is a computer" - Apple highlights the powerful desktop-class chips in their iPhones which blurs the line between "appliances" and general purpose workstations..

@lafaiel It is for now. InmeannSony once called it a linux workstation and when they removed that functionality they got sued

@ZeClint tries to treat iPhones as non computational devices but mere appliances. That won't work and it is good that the EU did not compromise. We see the app store and alternative apps situation on iPhones today that has been changed from hard position to Apple keeps to be gatekeeper

@ZeClint Apples and Oranges You comparing hardware with software. Keep it with software. Imagine a computer or computing device where Apple wants to be in control which apps you are allowed to install and use the data on the main drive Apple has no issue with it on their PCs. But...

@Frankforphones Breeno AI is better than anything else I tried so far. Three finger swipe an appointment mentiined in a mail so it ends up in breeno memory and you get a calendar entry suggestion by AI. This is helpful AI. Also the search comes close to what apple showed on their WWDC
