Do you know what would happen after that? Every company, blog, etc would ban more and more content.

Your source says "Roughly one-in-five teenagers *who have heard of ChatGPT* say they have used it".

This is certainly not "majority" of teens.

> and could fix a lot of the things iPhone users don't like about Android if they wanted to.

What are those? And even if they were fixed, how would people move if Apple makes it so difficult to leave the ecosystem?

> Security.

Why do you think a banks NFC payment app might not be secure? If ios is a platform then another NFC app could be as secure. Regardless, users should be given a choice. You can continue using Apple Wallet app, some other users might prefer other apps.

That is an excellent example of Apple's anti-trust behavior.

How do they plan to monetize it? How many people will pay for Search? Will they have an ad-supported version? If so how would their direction be any different when they face the same problems?

I noticed this narrative in their press release. They don't really mention Spotifys share just on iOS. If it's less than 56%, clearly something's up, right?

> Open platforms and standards are valuable and innovative. Much more so than the walled gardens.

> This is what the EU digital legislation should focus on, not on Chat Control and other similar crap.

Isn't that what they are focusing on? Interoperability across big platforms, which requires them to be open.

Not effective implies you believe users would have chosen other browsers when offered a choice. The fact that they chose their preferred browser, regardless of the reason for their preference, shows that it was effective.
