Digital companies and some products must comply with a list of rules, including making it easy for users to switch to another provider's products or services.
The European Union (EU) announced on April 29 that Apple's iPad operating system will have to comply with tough new regulations that the bloc is applying to control the world's leading digital companies.
The European Commission (EC) has classified Apple's iPadOS operating system as a "core" service under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) - a law that forces companies to adjust the way they do business to encourage competition between online platforms.
Before iPadOS, DMA also targeted other Apple products such as the iOS operating system for iPhones, the App Store, and the Safari browser.
Under the DMA, digital companies and some so-called “gatekeeper” products must comply with a list of rules, including making it easy for users to switch to products and services from another provider, and limiting data sharing between products belonging to the same parent company.
In addition to Apple, companies considered by the EU to be "gatekeepers" include Alphabet - the parent company of Google, Amazon; ByteDance - owner of TikTok; Meta and Microsoft.
The inclusion of iPadOS on the monitoring list exacerbates a long-running dispute between the EU and Apple over the bloc's new digital law.
Apple is currently one of the most vocal public opponents of the DMA, arguing that the law poses privacy and security threats to users.
However, the EU competition regulator said that iPadOS should be put on the monitoring list because the operating system "locks in" users to protect its large ecosystem and Apple has 6 months to comply with the DMA regulations.
“This decision will ensure that fairness and competitiveness are maintained on this platform, along with the 22 other services we designated last September,” said EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager.
Apple is also currently facing an investigation into its DMA profit cuts. Last month, the EU announced that it would investigate whether Apple’s App Store allowed developers to offer free incentives to users outside of their app marketplace.
