Apple’s new slogan should be “act different.”

Today, we informed Apple of our preliminary view that its App Store rules are in breach of the Digital Markets Act, as they prevent app developers from freely steering consumers to alternative channels for offers and content.

We also opened a new non-compliance procedure over concerns that its new contractual requirements for third-party app developers and app stores fall short of ensuring effective #DMA compliance.

This crap again? I don't care for third party app stores. All I care about as a consumer is secure devices that focus on my privacy. The EU can't guarantee such products so I don't care what the EU thinks is best for me.

I want to be able to use Apple Intelligence as it is designed by Apple in the EU so make that happen!

@SebastienK @EUCommission Just don't install apps from third-party app stores then?

Yeah you can choose if you want to use third-party app stores or not, you're not forced to do anything that's the point, that's what this is all about.

@light that's not what this is all about. This is about not allowing to choose for a closed system where governments have no grip on. Apple was such an eco system, not anymore.
