Welcome to our hebdomadal solicitation of all the Apple news you missed this week , in a handy bite - sized roundup .

Et tu, EU?
EU lawgiver are often portrayed , no doubt unfairly , as either good-humored administrative official or banana - straighten busybodies . What we do n’t look from them isradical legislationto bestow down the bad company on earth .

But the monopoly allegement give risky publicity , and Apple ’s stage business mannikin is based on a powerful trade name that encompasses both lifestyle and ideology . iPhone buyers do n’t like to imagine of themselves as the bad guy wire .

There will be via media . The eventual outcome is likely to be far less exciting ; corporate natural law is seldom spectacular , and these are but the opening salvoes in a warfare that will soon get bogged down in sound quibbles and nitpicking . But EU lawmakers are n’t afraid of a spot of niggling bureaucratism . It ’s what they do better .
