European consumers are facing delays in accessing several features on iPhones and Macs, including iPhone mirroring and Live Activities, due to the Digital Markets Act. Apple has indicated that upcoming iOS 26 features for the EU may be postponed or entirely unavailable. The company contends that compliance with the DMA is detrimental, requiring them to share technologies with competitors. Apple also criticizes the law for benefiting certain companies, particularly highlighting how Meta is taking advantage of these regulations. They assert that the DMA does not effectively protect customers.
Users in the EU are still waiting for their iPhone mirroring on Macs, and they won't be getting the Live Activities feature anytime soon either, due to strict EU regulations under the Digital Markets Act.
Apple has once again pointed out that Meta is exploiting the DMA's requirements and is asking for technology and user data that has nothing to do with Facebook or Instagram's core services.
According to Apple, Europe's DMA is hurting the company as it requires it to share its technology with other parties.
Apple's official stance is that the DMA isn't designed to protect customers, but to favor companies instead, sometimes European ones.
