HN Discussion:
  • Apple is using consumer sympathy as leverage against EU regulations, EU was right to refuse
  • Apple has legitimate privacy concerns about EU-mandated guardrails creating data backdoors
  • Apple can withhold the feature but shouldn't blame EU and damage its reputation
  • Apple is capable of complying but is bullying the EU; standing firm is correct
  • Privacy framing is Apple spin; the DMA is fundamentally about antitrust compliance
