Apple ramps up ‘war of words’ with EU regulators over ‘walled garden’ approach
['Chris Price']
Tech Digest
ShareApple has escalated its public feud with EU regulators, accusing them of unfairly challenging its business model and threatening to take the “magic” out of its products.
In a recent statement, the company said “bureaucrats in Brussels” are undermining the “magical, innovative experience” that makes the firm unique.
As part of the DMA, Apple is required to ensure that third-party devices, such as headphones and smartwatches, work seamlessly with iPhones and other Apple hardware.
This push for interoperability, Apple argues, requires complex and costly engineering work to maintain its high standards for privacy, security, and integrity.
The European Union, however, views Apple’s so-called “walled garden” as an anti-competitive problem that unfairly stifles rivals.
