1. >The iPhone is more fun in Europe now, and it’s not fair.

   >They’re getting all kinds of stuff because they have cool regulators, not like, regular regulators. Third-party app stores, the ability for browsers to run their own engines, Fortnite, and now the ability to replace lots of default apps?

2. Yea. Euro know-how, mate.

3. I still laugh about the story of EU and US trying to become closer after COVID and become better trading partners.

   All these plans and then the US said “you have to buy all these foods from us and sell and eat in the EU”. The EU literally went “No, we can’t. Its not food. Its against our regulations. We can’t sell it here as it is classified unhealthy and we have laws against selling this as ‘food for humans’.”

   The whole thing fell apart. The US calling the EU pedantic and the EU calling the US crazy for expecting us to feed those products to humans.

4. Can someone explain HOW this is gonna work?

   Like for example if you buy a phone in America but reside in the EU. Will you still have them?

   Or you’re an American but buy the phone in Europe. Will these new things still work when you go back to the states?

   Is it like a hardware thing or a software? Or just based on account geo. I have a European apple id and an american.
