Overview

  • Apple submitted a position paper in the EU’s DMA review calling for the law to be scrapped until a more suitable framework is devised.
  • The company proposes shifting fine decisions from the European Commission to an independent authority.
  • Apple argues DMA-driven changes such as allowing alternative app stores create new security risks and expose users to harmful content.
  • The firm says DMA obligations have delayed EU launches of features, citing live translation on new AirPods and transferring messages from iPhone to a laptop due to privacy concerns.
  • Brussels has accused Apple of restricting developers through App Store rules and has required greater interoperability, while fining the company €500 million in April and €1.8 billion last year.
