There was a lawsuit about this already and Apple lost and paid in 2024.

Are we living in a loop or is Apple just run by slow learners?

Increase the fine next time to a year of annual profits.

$500M. Basically a mild tax.

Apple is not run by slow learners but Apple customers surely ride the short bus.

If the consequence of wrongdoing is a cost, it's not a deterrent, it's a line item in the business case.
