EU extends regulation to iPadOS: Apple must comply with digital markets law

The European Union Commission has announced that iPadOS, Apple's tablet operating system, now also falls under the scope of the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA).

Here's What We Know

Apple has six months to convince the commission that iPadOS complies with the DMA. This includes a ban on gatekeeping and restrictions on app stores and other regulatory measures.

This decision could bring significant changes to Apple's strategies in the European Union, forcing it to rethink how it manages its tablet platform.

Previous investigations have shown that iPadOS users are heavily dependent on this platform, prompting the Commission to consider it a key player in the digital market. Apple said it would continue to cooperate with the Commission and comply with the DMA.
