They really won't, and they can't.
iOS supports 7 generations back or something for their devices, which means it's all those affected by the new software.
It's alot and it's fair for everyone.

If it took a decade, it would be the first time regarding these issues.
EU acted at a week's notice last time Apple tried to pull shit about third party app stores.
They didn't hesitate fining both Apple and Google 10% of their turnover in the past either.
This seems very weird, as it shouldn't matter at all. Are you talking about eSIM support, or just 5G?
They may be something with different wavelengths for 5G, but I'm not the right one to answer on that one.
It's bad because the subscription fee is ridiculous high compared, and only for one reason.
And that's getting you to consent, because comprehensive data is worth more for them.
Also, the whole point is to give back users the right to their data. They don't take away Facebooks right to show ads.
Selling personal data is not equal showing ads.
Comprehensive data is worth more for Meta, so my guess would be that the price model only existed to get users to consent.
Still interesting to see the numbers, yeah.
Land of the free.
It's literally to comply with the EU. Microsoft doesn't do this to be nice.
No, they can't be trusted. That's why they are forced to do it by the EU to comply to the DMA.
This may only be released in the EU, also.
They'd have to. They don't make the change so they can be nice. It's probably also only for EU users, when it releases.

This is a good thing done by Microsoft. They make sure that 3rd party software can't change the default browser without the user knowing.
They will get prompted with the choice screen showing all installed browsers. And when they make their choice, even Edge wouldn't be able to prey people into clicking a button that makes it the default instead.
This is amazing for open source!
I'm all for governments saving money, and hopefully this will spread.
ITT: People who has no clue about EU law and honestly think Apple will get away with this.
They won't and they never had in the past.
