Android, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch to name a few.


Android is already pretty open tbf so I don't think the EU would do anything. Those other three don't meet the 45 million users requirements.


Android, iOS, Console and TV Devices aren't that different, none of them allow you to install what you could on them.

I hope there will be a country that forces manufacturers to let you install any operating system of your choice on the devices you buy as long as they have screen output and USB/Bluetooth input.


Here are some additional discussions I'm seeing that will take place within a year.

- Apple's iOS is kicking our app from memory too soon.

- iOS does not allow apps to run continuously and at full power.

- Apple stops push notification and iCloud support for third party apps.


None of which are EU based?
