They’re not actually relinquishing any control. They’re just allowing subsidiary “app stores” to take a tiny cut while Apple still controls everything.

I’ve been an Apple fanboy for years, but less so these days. I can’t imagine that the EU won’t fine them for this, although it’s hard to imagine any fine that would make an impression on a $3 trillion company.

    New ARM-based chips deliver an unexaggerated 15-20 hours of battery life.

    I have a Linux setup on a Lenovo laptop with 11hrs (not exaggerated, but heavily tuned), and that’s AMD. With ARM I’m not surprised, but is Apple the only company selling ARM laptops?
