• The second proceeding examines the transparency and fairness of Apple's process for handling interoperability requests from developers.
• Apple has been given six months to comply with the specified measures or risk fines up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
• Apple argues that opening its systems too much could compromise user security but has committed to working constructively with the EU.
