Overview

• In a formal submission to the DMA review, Apple asked for the law to be repealed or fundamentally revised and proposed an independent enforcement authority plus clearer standards for what counts as effective compliance.
• EU spokesperson Thomas Regnier dismissed the push, noting Apple has contested nearly every requirement since the law took effect and signaling the Commission will continue enforcement.
• Apple argues interoperability and anti‑steering obligations introduce security and privacy risks and says EU users are missing features such as Live Translation on AirPods, iPhone–Mac mirroring and new Apple Maps tools.
• The company is appealing a €500 million DMA fine issued in April over anti‑steering and faces the prospect of additional penalties if Brussels deems its changes insufficient.
• Apple contends enforcement has focused disproportionately on it and points to Samsung’s absence from the gatekeeper list, while the Commission says decisions are made by independent experts.
