UK CMA Proposes 2025 Investigation into Apple and Google's Mobile Ecosystems for Stifling Faster Webpage Loading and Progressive Web Apps

Nov 22, 2024, 01:12 PM

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has provisionally determined that Apple's policies are stifling innovation in mobile browsers, impacting features such as faster webpage loading and progressive web apps on iOS. The CMA's report suggests that both Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) should face an investigation regarding their mobile ecosystems under the new digital markets rules set to take effect in 2025. The inquiry aims to enhance competition in the mobile browser market, which the CMA asserts is currently not functioning effectively for UK businesses and consumers. The CMA's findings indicate that the dominance of these tech giants could be limiting advancements in mobile technology.
