One for x86(/64), one for arm(64), one for RISC ? That doesn't seem like a valid argument.
Lol, that is still a monopoly in the Apple garden according to the EU.
because it is. Also why Risc V?
RISC != RISC-V
for the long explanation, look it up in Wikipedia, but briefly, RISC is a "family" of CPU architectures that includes ARM, MIPS and RISC-V. The other one is called CISC, which x86 belongs to.
I get it, but he explicitly mentioned arm already, hence I implied Risc V
If you read the article, it’s one for iOS, one for iPadOS and one for macOS. Which makes sense to see them as three different software (they probably only share the WebKit engine), but not as different product for core market.
It also might explain why Apple is so adamant on renaming the OS on different devices, and not using the iOS brand for iPad and Apple TV for example.
It’s flailing at best for technically being correct in legal cases. Which works in the US, but the EU is seeing right through it.
