Overview

• On May 30, Apple filed a legal challenge in Luxembourg against the European Commission’s March interoperability order under the Digital Markets Act.
• The EU mandate requires Apple to open key iOS features—such as push notifications on rival devices and access to stored Wi-Fi network histories—to third-party developers.
• Apple argues the rules would force it to disclose encrypted, on-device data without obligating competitors to meet equivalent privacy and security standards.
• Meta, Google, Garmin and Spotify have already submitted requests for sensitive user information, including full notification content and Wi-Fi network logs.
• While the appeal proceeds over several months, Apple must comply within 30 days or face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
