Earlier quoted context omitted.

Apple will never leave the EU market, that would be a stupid decision. EU is barely smaller than the US market if looking at GDP per capita, it's only a difference of ~$16,000. If looking at population, EU is larger than the US. Hopefully they keep cracking open the walls of Apple's garden and Apple stops region locking the changes to just those markets.

I read the comment several times, and I can't figure out your intent, or the message, because of how much it's coded in doublespeak. That might also be what trips others up.

The day Apple leaves the EU will be the day that its shareholders will string Apple's CEO up by his own entrails. His successor will immediately reverse course.

I read your whole comment, and damned if I know what you’re trying to say. The problem does not lie with the reading comprehension of your audience.

Your previous comment in this thread doesn't even form a sentence. It's unintelligible.

Don't you think that "They didn't leave the EU, and surely not leave US [if they start regulating]"?

Makes it clear?

Background sentiment, US politicians always justify not regulating due to the "fear" of corpos leaving?

Your previous comment was a run on sentence and didn't make much sense at all.

I didn't catch on to that at all. I even wrote my own comment, but seeing your reaction to the other guys' comments, I have re-read your original, and frankly, couldn't figure it out. I have asked ChatGPT and it decoded your intent correctly, and even seeing that, I couldn't reconcile it with the comment itself.

They say that a lot of communication is lost over text. I'm sure I could have caught the sarcasm if we spoke in real life, but in this textual form, it was completely lost to me, and it seems that for the other commenters as well.

Aren't most people just sending files over whatsapp/signal/whatever instant messaging apps they use?

AirDrop is cool because it works offline with relatively high bandwidth using local RF. If you want to wait for you and the target to transmit all the data to/from some server 1000 miles away (using up your precious bandwidth quota along the way) that’s always been an option.

I know there are better ways to transfer stuff. I am just saying that a majority of people don't tend to use them regardless of how easy/compatibles alternatives are.

They naturally choose to transfer stuff from the same app that they are using to communicate with others.
