The EU wants to turn the iPhone into an Android phone

这三个词很好地描述了苹果公司的近况。

These three words can well describe Apple's recent situation.

大西洋彼岸，欧盟委员会根据去年颁布的《数字市场法》（DMA）对苹果应用商店展开反垄断调查。

On the other side of the Atlantic, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation into Apple's App Store under the digital market act (DMA) enacted last year.

如果成立，苹果可能被处以全球收入10%的罚款。根据苹果2020财年的营收，10%的罚款约为1777亿元人民币，这是天价。

If established, Apple could be fined 10% of its global revenue. According to Apple's revenue in fiscal year 2020, the 10% fine is about 177.7 billion yuan, which is a sky high price.

无独有偶，今年4月，苹果与Epic Games热战之际，不少《堡垒之夜》玩家向苹果提出要求，希望苹果打开侧装许可安装《堡垒之夜》，遭到库克拒绝。

Similarly, in April this year, when apple and Epic Games were in a hot fight, many players of "Fortress night" put forward a demand to apple, hoping that Apple would open the side loading permission to install "Fortress night", which was rejected by cook.

无论是欧盟、美国还是史诗战争与史诗游戏，它们都瞄准了不支持"侧载"应用的IOS。

Whether it's the European Union, the United States or the epic war with Epic Games, they all aim at IOS, which does not support "sideloading" applications.

什么是侧装应用程序？

What is side loading application?

侧装应用指的是不经过官方应用商店就可以不受限制地安装和测试第三方应用程序。

Sideloading application refers to the unrestricted installation and testing of third-party applications without going through the official app store.

对于苹果IOS来说，也就是说，应用程序不是通过app store安装的。

For Apple IOS, that is to say, the app is not installed through the app store.

正是这一特性使得Android对IOS开放和封闭，并使应用商店成为风暴的中心。

It is this feature that makes Android open and closed to IOS, and makes the app store at the center of the storm.

苹果会妥协吗？

Will Apple compromise?

过去，面对调查和指责，苹果大多"不予置评"，让结果说话。现在，与正常情况相反，高管们很活跃。

In the past, in the face of investigations and accusations, apple mostly "did not comment" and let the results speak. Now, contrary to the normal, executives are active.

此外，苹果公司用户隐私总监埃里克·纽恩施瓦德（Erik neuenschwander）在与fast公司沟通时表示，"苹果可以随时打开在app store周围安装应用程序的功能"，但这样做会导致用户上当受骗或上当受骗。

In addition, when communicating with fast company, Erik neuenschwander, Apple's user privacy director, said that "apple can open the function of installing apps around the app store at any time", but doing so will lead to users being cheated or fooled.

也就是说，面对全球范围内针对app store的"反垄断"调查，苹果不会在开放侧加载权限上妥协。

In other words, in the face of "anti-monopoly" investigations against the app store around the world, Apple will not compromise on opening the side loading authority.

事实上，无论是苹果高管的言论，还是这份长达16页的文件，无疑都告诉欧盟或美国的立法者，如果继续推进反垄断调查和改革，欧美庞大的IOS用户群将面临巨大风险。

In fact, both the comments of Apple executives and this 16 page document undoubtedly tell the legislators of the European Union or the United States that if they continue to promote the anti-monopoly investigation and reform, the huge IOS user base in Europe and the United States will be at great risk.

"欧洲的消费者还是小企业"和"你选择哪一方这是苹果对欧盟反垄断调查的回应。

"Consumers or small businesses in Europe" and "which side do you choose This is Apple's response to the EU antitrust investigation.

支持"侧载"是否存在安全风险？

Is there a safety risk in supporting "sideloading"?

作为普通消费者，我们不应该关注欧盟反垄断调查背后的深层含义，而应该关注那些"封闭"的IOS和Android支持的侧装应用是否真的"安全"。

As ordinary consumers, we should not pay attention to the deep meaning behind the EU antitrust investigation, but should pay attention to whether the "closed" IOS and Android supporting side mounted applications are really "safe".
