Overview

• Apple filed a formal submission asking the Commission to repeal or substantially amend the Digital Markets Act, warning it could stop shipping some products and services to the 27‑country bloc.
• The company says the DMA’s interoperability mandate has delayed Live Translation with AirPods, iPhone Mirroring on Macs, and Maps features such as Visited Places and Preferred Routes for EU users.
• Apple argues it has not found a way to meet the law without exposing user data and says its proposed privacy safeguards were rejected by the European Commission.
• The firm claims EU‑mandated third‑party app stores and sideloading have introduced greater risks, citing scams, malware, and the appearance of pornography and gambling apps on iPhones in Europe.
• A Commission spokesperson says gatekeepers must enable interoperability, while Apple continues to appeal a roughly €500 million DMA‑related fine as enforcement and the law’s review proceed.
