smells like legally actionable monopolistic behavior. apple clearly needs to be broken up... when was the last time we did that?

That was literally the point of this ruling. The EU only has the power to enforce things in the EU and they can't force Apple to act differently outside of it.

Bit the EU could still go nuclear and just refuse to let apple trade I the EU. It's not an EU company and it doesn't make products in the EU.

Financially it doesn't care about apple being able to sell there

Great point.

This is why Americans have no consumer protections; they're the ones fucking everyone.

Probably like 15-20 years ago when Microsoft was forced to de-bundle IE with Windows.
