Apple blames EU’s Digital Markets Act for feature delays

Since it was implemented three years ago, the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) has tried to put an anti -competitive opposition to the big technical platforms, mainly for users to switch and transfer data between devices and applications.

Big Tech is definitely not happy with it, and now Apple has come out against control. Agency on Wednesday Guilty The EU’s application to the EU DMA has said to delay the launch of some features in the EU that the rules are facing new risks and reducing the preferences “leads to worse experiences” for Apple customers on the block.

Since DMA’s third party devices and applications are required to create inter -useful companies, Apple claims that it needs to delay some features in the EU, including it New live translation features for airpodsMirring iPhone on mac, and place to visit and Routine Features on the map. The list of delayed features is “probably longer” the company said.

As the company it is frame, it is hard to make a square with the company’s commitment to the user’s privacy requirements for DMA’s inter -useful requirements. Law companies need to open their ecosystems to competitors by creating ownership applications and features compatible with third -party hardware and software. However, Apple says that its teams are strictly stressed to find any way to do this without compromising the user’s data.

“We have advised to change these features that will protect our users’ data, but so far, the European Commission has rejected our proposals. According to the European Commission, under the DMA, sharing these features with Apple users is illegal for us that we are not on their products of other companies.” Our products will be provided, our products will be provided and probably our products will be provided and probably forced to shipping this shipping.

Apple’s post comes a few months later EU has fined more than $ 550 million Apple developers are for DMA violations to pay transactions for applications and services within Apple’s ecosystems. There are agencies Appeal Decision.

Apple further argued that users used to install apps from third -party App Store and use other payment arrangements as DMA needed, increasing the risk of scandal, malware and fraud for its users.

“It’s been more than a year after the Digital Markets Act is implemented. With that time it has become clear that DMA is leading the worse experience for Apple users in EU. It is facing their new risks and disrupting their Apple products simply, seamlessly to work together.

The European Commission did not immediately return a request for comments.
