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.
I agree, I almost got an air, but reconsidered when I saw how much I had to pay to increase the hard drive and ram.
It’s not worth it.
Snapdragon is releasing new laptop arm chip this year and chrome is testing the arm version of chrome for windows.
I think that we will see some decent battery optimized windows laptops this year.
