By Jonny Evans With WWDC 2024 now set, Apple continues to work on bringing itself more in line with US government demands. What we don’t know yet is the extent to which these changes will be restricted to the EU, or whether Apple intends to make them available worldwide in an attempt to quell regulatory zeal. That regulators want to diminish the Apple user experience to open up additional digital competition is not in doubt. What isn’t known is whether these decisions will make things better or worse in the long run. So, what else does Apple plan to do to bring itself into line with regulatory...

By Jonny Evans Perhaps seeking to grab the limelight from the Department of Justice’s ludicrously articulated antitrust suit against Apple, the European Commission this morning confirmed it will investigate the company, along with Google, Amazon, and Meta, for noncompliance with the Digital Markets Act. “The Commission suspects that the measures put in place by these gatekeepers fall short of effective compliance of their obligations under the DMA,” the statement says.
