So Apple won’t comply with the EU law then?
- ThatPlayer 3y agoEU law doesn't have any requirements to change that. The only requirement is that any APIs first party Apple services use can also be used by competing 3rd parties. If Apple isn't using those features in any competing services, they don't have to open it up for everyone. Alternately they could remove those APIs from their own apps and still be complying. The goal is fair competition. I should be able have Google Pay to compete with Apple Pay, but Apple don't let other apps use the NFC for that. It's not fair competition when iMessage can be your default SMS app, but WeChat/WhatsApp can't. But if Apple choose to, they could separate iMessage and SMS and still be fine under EU law, cuz now none of the competing iMessage/WeChat/WhatsApp will be your SMS app.
