Apple blames EU’s Digital Markets Act for feature delays


Apple is blaming the EU's enforcement of the DMA for delaying the launch of some features in the EU, saying the rules are "leading to a worse experience" for Apple customers in the bloc by exposing them to new risks and reducing choices.

The law requires companies to open up their ecosystems to competitors by making proprietary apps and features compatible with third-party hardware and software. If we shared them any sooner, we’d be fined and potentially forced to stop shipping our products in the EU,” Apple wrote in a blog post. He covered North American and European M&A, equity, regulatory news and debt markets at Reuters and Acuris Global, and has also written about travel, tourism, entertainment and books.
