The EU declares Apple's iPadOS as a 'gatekeeper' due to its vast app ecosystem, locking in businesses like yours or users like you. The European Union's designation of Apple's iPadOS as a "gatekeeper" signals a significant win for small businesses and startup owners in fostering a fair digital marketplace. This move further underscores the EU's commitment to regulating tech giants such as Apple and gives smaller businesses the opportunity to thrive and innovate. Apple must now comply with the DMA within 6 months. Our CEO, Jon von Tetzchner, welcomes this, noting that iPads and iPhones share the same ecosystem and that Apple controls both as the gatekeeper.

With the browser being an integral part of your digital life at work or otherwise, it should be obvious that you're able to make an informed choice and pick from the best options given to you. However, this isn't the case for most of you. Our CEO, Jon von Tetzchner, shared with Reuters that if you're using an iPhone, you see the list of browser choices only when you select Safari, with no additional information. "The process is just so convoluted that it's easiest for (users) to select Safari or potentially some other known name." - Jon. This has prompted the European Commission to start a non-compliance investigation against Apple, in light of the recently enforced DMA (Digital Markets Act) to investigate whether Apple may be preventing you from truly exercising your choice of services, for example, with their design of the browser Choice Screen.
