Bit the EU could still go nuclear and just refuse to let apple trade I the EU. It's not an EU company and it doesn't make products in the EU.

Financially it doesn't care about apple being able to sell there

Great point.

This is why Americans have no consumer protections; they're the ones fucking everyone.

They're fucking themselves. In the EU the EU, not the US, is sovereign. Apple has to follow EU rules, but again, only with the EU.

Ugh... I mean, they could, but the fact is I guarentee you many members of the EU commission and parliament themselves use these products, and they are popular in the EU, just not as overwhelmingly so as in the US. Ultimately, that wouldn't really fly in a democracy and, as much as I may hate apple, for good reasons.
