Adam Kos Recently, iOS is shaking things up. On the one hand, it is under a barrage of new features Apple Intelligence, and on the other hand, under EU regulations, which can be said to have properly taken care of this previously closed system.
The European Commission has recently published a document from an antitrust investigation Applu, in which he mentions that he requires another series of system changes to the operating system iOS. All to make it even more open to third-party developers. The primary goal is to give them Apple has released technologies that it only uses in its solutions. This applies in particular to the following points:
- Ease of pairing
- Accessory control
- Continuous running of applications in the background
- Opening a function AirPlay
- Opening a function AirDrop
What does this mean for the customer?
From the point of view of someone ordering something to someone, of course we don't have to like it. Apple develops its own system that runs on its own hardware in its own ecosystem, and it is these things that it does not give to others that give it a competitive advantage. But the EU does not want that to be the case, and therefore wants to Applu, so that everyone can use the above.

For us, this would mean that the easy device pairing system would not be in place. iPhonepresent only in case AirPods a Apple Watch, but also with solutions from third-party manufacturers. This also applies to the control itself. Only titles offer continuous background applications Applu, not those of third parties. Opening AirPlay a AirDrop However, for us it could mean expanding the functionality and communication of these functions, so we would actually only benefit from that. For the customer and user Apple so it's not necessarily bad for products, unless it's a security threat.

What does it mean for Apple
It's not certain yet, as the company has until January 9, 2025. She just has to gather as many arguments as possible as to why she doesn't provide the aforementioned options to others and why she shouldn't continue to do so. The main one, of course, is the potential risk for the user. Hope for Apple so it is, but it is small. We know from the past that practically nothing got away with him and in all cases he had to bend his back and give in to the EU.
If I wanted an open system, I would buy one. androidand.. 🤢🤮
Nobody cares about you :-D
I have exactly the same. I use Apple device and I respect how the system works. When they want holes in every direction and openness, I will buy Android, even though it is also partially changing and is not as free as drive.
Each similar arrangement is another potential direction in which the device can be attacked. Because the space there will simply be bigger in principle.
It's really a knife to the bad guys Apple.
But it's good that all the other problems of the EU have already been solved...
Apple I gradually fell in love with his closedness. At first, after switching from Android, I had problems, but it didn't take long and I got used to the ecosystem and I don't need anything else. And I don't understand why the EU is so stubbornly pushing on Apple. The EU is full of nonsense regulations and standards and this is another one of the nonsense. Apple it is great precisely because of its closedness. Everyone has the right to decide which system they want to use.
