The EU's mandatory sideloading has led to uncontrollable risks for users, and Apple has issued a warning

Apple has issued a warning: after being forced by the European Union**, its users may be in danger of getting out of control!

Many people buy Apple, it is because of its pure iOS and the strong performance of the A series, although Apple has not had any major updates in recent years, but it can compete with it in these two aspects, and Huawei can compete with it.

As a result, Apple has the opportunity to take advantage of top-of-the-line technology"Monopoly"The idea of the whole market, and the most representative is the app store, which not only supports third-party payments, but also Apple's ** cannot be loaded with third-party programs, which gives Cook enough freedom to play.

30% with a bad reputation"Apple tax"Apple has been fined around the world, but for Apple, this amount of money is nothing, Apple spends more than 7 million yuan a year on software business, and Apple only contributes one-fifth.

Apple only paid tens of millions of dollars in fines, but that's it"Compliance"The act has been undermined by Europe, which requires Apple to impose fines of more than 10% on sales if it insists on rejecting third-party programs when launching the iPhone.

Europe is the most popular country after China, and in this tough stance, Apple has to make concessions, but Cook has once again added fuel to the fire, and even released a warning that "iPhone is free**, users are in danger".

What are the dangers that users face?

Apple's profitability is somewhat exaggerated, although the overall sales are not the best in the world, but in high-end products, it is an unshakable hegemon, accounting for almost 85% of the profitability of the entire mobile phone industry, that is to say, the remaining 15% of the market is competitive by many other mobile phone manufacturers.

Apple, which was already making a lot of money, actually had the idea of monopolization, which of course aroused public anger, so Europe was the first to take action and promulgated the "Digital Markets Law", which clearly stipulates that the ecosystem of third-party applications such as app stores will be opened, and it will be officially implemented in March.

This means that Apple will:"Cancellation"30% tax, a move that is expected to benefit software manufacturers, but Apple, which has not been good at making concessions, has come up with a new profit plan.

In the future, whether it is an app store or a third party**, if the number of installs of an app is more than 1 million, each user will have to pay 05 euros.

Apple is also deeply concerned about Europe's coercive practices; Apple's general manager, Phil-Schiller, also issued a warning: "The situation of users is dangerous! ”

The reason is very simple, most people have so many hackers because of the cleanliness of this operating system, which is the biggest advantage of iOS.

Given Apple's large user base, an app that can easily be used by more than 1 million people can still make a profit, but it is risky for customers.
