The threats of the European Union towards Apple continued after a few months of deliberations – which ended up being resolved by the press release. In this document, as already planned, the EU wants Force interoperativity between apple and competition deviceswith certain conditions.
In the resolution of the Apple Forces to allow competition devices to access certain characteristics of its operating systems – for example, that an Android intelligent watch can operate more completely from iOS. It should be noted that, as the commission itself recognizes, Apple has already informed these taxes. And society, as planned, is contrary to the decision.
For the apple, the measures are not only unfair, also ineffective
Those of Cupertino They guarantee that they have collaborated with the DMA in all that has been askedProviding with more than 500 engineers the team that was responsible for meeting the latest requirements. However, EU’s requests are coming today for Apple “do not encourage the principles of competition and innovation”.
Interoperability, as understood by the EU, damages the best technology for consumers – that for Apple with this measure, you will only get competition, it has “free” its innovations. Indeed, it will be necessary to share with the characteristics of the competition to be able to comply with this new standard – on a market on which it is competition which are generally copies.
Apple sees here Unequal treatment in the application of this standard. Although the DMA also applies to other brands, it is only Apple which is necessary to modify this size – which only benefits the rest. Be also aware that there are other brands with data management problems to those who do not comply.
Currently, Apple is already studying how to apply this standard transparent to users, which in my opinion will be with opinions where the standard must be forced. In addition, the company already provides developers in the new resources and EU API for their applications and which can make the most of each new feature – as did when the compliance of the DMA began. From Cupertino, they assure that Apple will ensure the protection of its users data and the integrity of the platform.
It should be said that this measure arrived the same day as the judges of a European country like Germany, for local purposes, judged that Apple is likely to be a monopoly and that, like the others as an objective or google, it must stick to the possible surveys. All this apart from what already regulates Europe at the level of all the Member States.
