The European Commission has advanced its enforcement of digital antitrust rules against Apple and Alphabet's Google. The commission has instructed Apple on measures to make its iOS devices interoperable with rival products.
This action aims to ensure fair competition and prevent gatekeepers from favoring their own services. Compliance could require Apple to open its ecosystem to third-party devices like headphones, smartwatches, and VR headsets.
This ongoing regulatory pressure from the EU could necessitate significant changes to Apple's business practices in Europe, potentially impacting its control over its platform and its ability to innovate exclusively within its ecosystem.
