EU Warns Apple to Open iPhone Operating System Within Six Months or Face Fines
Sep 19, 2024, 09:43 AM
Apple Inc. is set to receive a warning from the European Union to open up its highly guarded iPhone operating system to rival technologies. The EU's directive comes under the new Digital Markets Act (DMA), which mandates that operating systems must be fully functional with other technologies. If Apple fails to comply within six months, it risks facing a formal probe and significant fines of up to 10% of its global annual turnover. The EU's move aims to ensure interoperability and fair competition in the digital market.
