Europeans using Apple, Google and other major tech platforms woke to a new reality Thursday as a landmark law imposed tough new competition rules on the companies — changing European Union citizens’ experience with phones, apps, browsers and more.

The new EU regulations force sweeping changes on some of the world’s most widely used tech products, including Apple’s app store, Google search and messaging platforms, including Meta’s WhatsApp. And they mark a turning point in a global effort by regulators to bring tech giants to heel after years of allegations that the companies harmed competition and left consumers worse off.

Voice is also debatable.

VoLTE is such a mess. It requires OS, modem and phone operator to all work together, where I heard none of them is often to the spec. As of now voice calling should be a simple Internet based app, maybe with autoconfiguration to not break "inset SIM and done" habits.
