Apple steps up war of words with European regulators

‘Unfair’ EU rules are delaying features for European users, the tech giant says.

The so-called walled garden that combines Apple's products and software ensures a safe and high quality experience for users, it says, but EU regulators counter that it unfairly shuts out rivals. The two sides have had years of rows, culminating in a €500m (£430m; $586m) fine handed down in April by the EU, which accuses the tech giant of anti-competitive behaviour on its App Store. "They want to take the magic away - of having a tightly integrated experience that Apple provides - and make us like the other guys," Joswiak said during a press briefing with reporters at its headquarters in Cupertino, California.
