Does this mean they’re mad about apple requiring 3rd parties to verify with them first to legitimize those apps on iOS and want that gone?
Google will be doing the same thing soon. If that’s what’s going on with Apple, I hope Google will not go in that direction and keep Android free as it always was in fear of EU fines.
>Apple, which has previously said its rules ensure marketplaces meet specific minimum requirements to protect users and developers, dismissed the claims as false and put the blame on the Commission.
„The EC is mandating how we run our store and forcing business terms that are confusing for developers and bad for users,“ Apple said in an email.
„Months ago, we notified the EC of our plans to roll out additional changes to the letter of credit requirements to provide more flexibility for developers but the Commission asked us not to.“
>The EU executive, which acts as the bloc’s competition enforcer, said it was aware of the submission.
„Third party contributions are very important for the effective enforcement of the DMA,“ a Commission spokesperson said.
>“We are already looking into (some of) those issues, as we are currently seeking feedback from market participants in relation to Apple business terms and we are regularly supervising gatekeepers‘ compliance.“
The DMA sets out a list of dos and don’ts for Big Tech firms aimed at allowing smaller rivals entry into markets dominated by the largest companies and giving users more choice.
Arrogant bastards, I’m glad the EU is taking action against foreign monopolies acting like kings on our soil.
