In an effort to thwart further regulation Apple tells the EU that the iPhone is actually 3 distinct devices: an iPod, a phone and an internet mobile communicator!

… I honestly cannot tell if that’s a joke or if that’s what they did.

@paul "Then you are bound by the regulations for all three categories".
"No, no, not that way! Actually the iPhone is no devices. Does nothing. A brick. How about that?"

eris7,

@paul kind of sick of hearing about apple crying to the EU and trying to manipulate to get out of doing the bare minimum for actual usability for the sake of them having an advantage over and demonizing the opposition for problems that they literally caused and that inconvenience not only their competitors but also their entire user base..
I feel like everyone is sick of it at this point
Hopefully this stops working out for them soon

And the EU said 1.,” Oh , then each device is fined.”
2. “That’s OK we are 27 different countries.”
3. “ Your papers please. ( Germany was running the meeting)
4. “ Do as we say or Elon Musk gets it.”

🥥 Why didn't #Apple claim to the #EU that the #iPhone is really 5 devices: an iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator, an iPad, and a Tricorder? 🥥

It's also a flashlight, calculator, pocketbook, compass, camera, camcorder, voice recorder.

@paul unfortunately, they found video testimony from Steve Jobs refuting this claim. 😉

@paul so, treble damages times treble violations. What does that come out to?

@paul How do they think such a claim helps them?

crankyclown,

@paul where does the camera fit in?

@paul
That means it needs three USB-C ports.

saxx,

@paul Wait, are you telling me I can make phone calls on my iPhone?! Need to try sometime 😉

teaHX1138,

@paul So, 3X the regulation would be in order. On it!

dharrison,

@paul It’s not one device, it’s three. Are you getting it?
