• Apple argues interoperability mandates requiring new iPhone features to work with third‑party hardware create unresolved privacy risks, and says its proposed safeguards were rejected by the European Commission.
• The company warns future product availability in the bloc could be affected if rules remain unchanged, though it says no hardware launches have been delayed so far.
• Citing DMA-driven opening of iOS to alternative app marketplaces and payments, Apple says EU users face a riskier app environment with greater exposure to scams, malware, gambling and pornography apps.
• The European Commission says it will not repeal the DMA, notes nothing in the law compels weaker privacy or security, and continues enforcement that has already included a €500 million fine Apple is appealing.
