Apple was fined for “misleading commercial practise”.

Apple was fined for “misleading commercial practise”.

The fine of €25m is in line with the sentencing guideline of 10% of the average turnaround (over the last 3 years) of Apple France, which was about €200m in 2018.

The amount has nothing to do with global turnaround (because French law stop at the French border!) and any kind of totally made up number made by a legal system making up stuff as they go (like the British legal system).

Apple clearly accepted the fine.

At least France is applying the law, and nothing but the law.

I’d love see something similar in the UK (having migrated here long ago).
