Overview

• In its submission, Apple confirmed it has withheld iPhone Mirroring, AirPods Live Translation, and Maps features like Visited Places and Preferred Routes in the EU.
• The company says DMA rules require those features to work with third-party hardware, a step it argues cannot yet be done without exposing sensitive on-device data.
• Apple said regulators rejected its proposed safeguards and warned that more features will be delayed, while adding it does not expect but cannot rule out future hardware launch impacts in the bloc.
• Apple proposed shifting DMA enforcement to an independent European agency and noted it is appealing a €500 million fine imposed in April for App Store violations.
• The European Commission has not issued a new response to Apple’s filing as enforcement continues, with EU deadlines for opening up features this year and potential further fines for non-compliance.
