Has the commission confirmed that these changes "resolve Apple’s disagreements with the Commission" or is that just like... Apple's wishful thinking.

I definitely recall previous iterations where Apple announced changes to comply with legal requirements where the authorities ended up saying "this absolutely doesn't resolve the issue".

Well at least 10x better than in the US now

I’m not sure that’s how I’d characterise it. I think this is a positive step for consumers in the EU.

I’d argue that it is Apple who have backed down here.
