Apple calls for changes to anti-monopoly laws and says it may stop shipping to the EU (www.theguardian.com)

Apple has called for the European Commission to repeal a swathe of technology legislation, warning that unless it is amended the company could stop shipping some products and services to the 27-country bloc.

The Silicon Valley company hit out in a submission to the commission’s review of the three-year-old anti-monopoly legislation, which is intended to regulate the gatekeeper power of the largest digital companies including search engines, app providers and messaging services.

It said it had already delayed the launch of features such as live translation through AirPods and mirroring iPhone screens on to laptop because of the act’s demands for interoperability with non-Apple products and services.

“The DMA means the list of delayed features in the EU will probably get longer, and our EU users’ experience on Apple products will fall further behind,” it said. Apple added that Brussels was creating unfair competition as the rules were not applied to Samsung, the largest smartphone provider in the EU.

It may stop shipping to the EU

Lol, right. Talk about an empty threat.

iPhone has about a 30% market share in the EU, which means Android is about 70% (I'm sure there's probably 2% that's something else).

Apple stops shipping to EU, that will drop to 5%, giving away 25% market share.

Pleas Apple, stop shipping to the EU, when you become a bit player everywhere but the US, you'll have to start competing by opening up.
