The European Commission is not backing up efforts to control the Big Tech. In a series of press release today, the European Union executive arm has announced actions against both Apple and Google. Regulators have announced that Apple will need to open support for non -Apple accessories on the iPhone, but it will be too late for Google to make changes. The commission says the search company has violated the Digital Markets Act, which could lead to heavy fines.
Since returning to power, Donald Trump has upset against European rules that target US -tech firms. Despite the rising tensions and tough conversations, the European Commission seems to be impartial and is following its more stringent laws like the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This important part of the European Union’s legislation aims to make the digital economy more fair. On Was going to be implemented last yearThe Act labeled some major tech companies, including Apple and Google,, including “gatekeepers”, which are subject to additional scrutiny.
Europe’s Big Tech More Offensive Regulation is why continent’s iPhone users can Install apps from Third Party app markets While the rest of us are stuck with the Apple App Store. As far as Google is concerned, the European Commission has paid special attention to search, Android and Chrome, all of which dominate their respective markets.
Apple’s mobile platform plays the second fadal for Android in Europe, but it is so large that the company is subject to DMA. Eu Has now ordered That Apple is not working enough to support cooperation on its platform. As a result, this will have to make several notable changes. Apple will have to provide better access to iOS to other companies and developers like Smart Watchs, Headphones and TV devices. This may include notifications with integration, rapid data transfer, and smooth setup.
The Commission is also forcing Apple to release additional technical documents, communication, and notifications for the upcoming features for the third party. The European Union believes that this change will encourage more companies to develop products that are connected to the iPhone, and provide each other with more options besides Apple.
Regulators say both sets of measures are the result of a period of public comments that began last year. We have asked Apple to comment on this development but have not heard the time of publication. Apple needs to make these changes, and failing to do so can be a penalty. However, Google already exists.
