European Union lays out how Apple must open its tech up to competitors under bloc’s digital rules

Associated Press  

LONDON — The European Union on Wednesday outlined the steps that Apple must take to open up its iPhone and iPad operating systems to work better with competing technologies. Brussels also opened two “ specification proceedings ” in September to spell out what Apple needs to do under the DMA, which aims to make digital markets “fairer” and “more contestable” by breaking up closed tech ecosystems that lock consumers into a single company’s products or services. With its decision, Brussels is “providing regulatory certainty both to Apple and to developers,” the European Commission Executive Vice President Teresa Ribera said in a press release. Apple said it will continue to work with the European Commission to “help them understand our concerns on behalf of our users.” The Commission also said Wednesday that Google wasn’t doing enough to comply with DMA. This is, quite simply, misguided.” The commission’s app store findings, meanwhile, “create a false choice between openness and security” and risk exposing Europe users to more “malware and fraud,” it added.
