Der "Digital Markets Act" der EU schränkt bei der Arbeit und Veröffentlichung zu stark ein, meint Apple.
Der iPhone-Hersteller Apple hat die Abschaffung der EU-Wettbewerbsregeln für Digitalkonzerne gefordert. Das entsprechende Gesetz solle aufgehoben werden, bis ein "geeigneterer Rechtsrahmen" ausgearbeitet sei, erklärte Apple.

Overview

  • Apple filed a 25-page position paper to the European Commission’s DMA review on September 25 seeking abolition of the law.
  • Apple argues the DMA’s forced openness has increased risks from fraud, malware and adult-content apps, which it says it previously barred on iPhones.
  • The company says enforcement has been uneven, noting it has been targeted more than rivals and pointing to Samsung’s absence from the gatekeeper list.
  • Apple says compliance pressures have led it to delay or withhold EU features such as Live Translation on AirPods and iPhone mirroring, citing privacy safeguards.
  • The firm is appealing a €500 million fine issued in April over App Store rules and proposes shifting fine decisions from the Commission to an independent body.
