Apple’s explanation: no
What idiots. Implementing screen mirroring for the eu does not provide any additional effort then doing it for other markets. If the EU does decide to regulate it, they could just shut it down.
I think it’s fair to assume that anything Apple says about the EU is propaganda to manipulate users into putting public pressure on the EU to decrease regulation.
This seems backwards to me. There are already tools to mirror android to any platform. Scrcpy. What I would expect is the EU would want iPhone to mirror easily to other platforms like windows or linux. Would require opening on the newer airplay standards.
Scrcpy is FOSS, and thus not really subject to DMA regulation.
That’s half my point. Android is already open for things like this to work. iOS needs to be open and accessible. If Apple allows mirroring in the EU , the regulators will want it accessible cross platform like Android is and not locked to the iOS only works with Mac like they currently have.
I know there are third party tools that mirror iOS to windows, but as I understand it , they all use old or hacked methods that frequently break with updates. Similar to open source airplay receivers using old methods and only supporting audio.
“excessive regulation is ultimately hurting the company’s ability to innovate.” 😢
Is there any chance we can have some regulation that stops them bringing windows vista UI back from the dead?
