Accidental Tech Podcast593: Not a European Lawyer
https://atp.fm/593
The EU giveth, and Apple taketh away.
Odin@atpfm Hopefully there is some way the EC can clarify things around those features Apple is holding back, because I really struggle to see how a feature on the Mac is affected by the DMA, even if the feature is all about accessing your iPhone.
In that case especially it feels like Apple is just being punitive.
illustro@odin @atpfm one of the gatekeeper designations the EC has made in relation to Apple is that the "AppStore" is a Core Platform service for intermediation: https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/gatekeepers_en
That AppStore isn't just on iOS, it's all of Apple's platforms (in part because Apple has designed it as a single system, see iPad apps being submitted once but available on everything but watch and phone)
So the Mac is covered here too re interoperability
