In het verleden, weet niet welk kwartaal of welke AVA.
Harold: Dat in de toekomst de omzet in Apple zelfs groter kon worden, maar anders :-)
Tja er gebeurt veel tussen hemel en aarde.
Ik wist tm nov niet, dat er een nieuw platform zou komen.
Ik wist ook niet dat er een soort samenwerking zou komen, met Amazon, Microsoft en Meta.
Tja soms is de verrassing positief en soms negatief.
De soep wordt nooit zo heet gegeten als ze wordt opgediend.
Misschien gaat de koers morgen weer omlaag, je moet iedereen zijn lol gunnen, niet waar.
Q2 2020 gevonden via de klappers :-)

I just had another one. I thought I wanted to ask you. It's on Apple. I mean, if we look at Apple, they did their developer event and they announced
that the Map is done in the U.S. basically, and now they are starting to roll out in Europe, including the U.K. If we look at -- it's been 2 years since
they announced that they will do their own map. And when I look at your track record, you renew the contract with Apple in 2015. So it's been 5
years now, maybe you signed even before you announced it. So maybe at least 5 years. And if we look at the average length of the contract, I mean,
I think we are around this 5, 6 or 7 years. So my question is since they are rolling out, we didn't see an impact from Apple on your Enterprise business
at all so far (technical difficulty) impact from this in the next future either because the contract is coming to an end, and we should expect some
impact that the fact that they create their own maps. Just trying to -- now you know it's been 2 years since they announced that. You never explain
if there is any impact on you. So just wanting to ask you.

Yes. Again, it's a commercially sensitive topic. We have a long-term relationship with Apple. The nature of that relationship is changing, as you
rightly comment. But it's too early to say if, how, that relationship will end or what shape that relationship will take in longer term future. So its very
difficult to comment on that. It's commercially sensitive. We all know what Apple is doing. We still have a very good relationship. We're sharing a
lot of data and information. I think that relationship is intact. And I think there will be opportunities for extending that relationship, but it will be
of a different nature than it used to be.
Tja, als het zo gevoelig ligt, kun je niets zeggen.
Ik begrijp dat :-)
Mogelijkheden om de relatie te vergroten.
Maar my lips are sealed :-)
