EU evaluates Apple's iPad OS for compliance with Digital Markets Act

The European Union will evaluate if Apple's iPad operating system meets the requirements of the Digital Markets Act. This follows Apple's recent compliance report, which the EU designated as crucial for business access to customers.

The Digital Markets Act, effective earlier this year, mandates that Apple allow users to choose their default web browser, support alternative app stores, and enable access for various accessories.

The EU's assessment will consider Apple's measures and input from stakeholders. Non-compliance could result in fines up to 10% of Apple's global annual revenue.
