"According to Apple, the law has forced the company to delay several features, including iPhone mirroring to Mac and live translation with AirPods. These delays are the result of technical challenges in making features compliant with DMA requirements. Location-based features in Maps have also been delayed in the EU because the DMA requires certain features to work with non-Apple products or third-party developers. The company claims it has not found a way to comply with the requirements without compromising user data."
"Apple highlights the risks of sideloading and alternative marketplaces, which the company claims lead to a riskier, less intuitive app experience for EU users. Threats such as scams, malware, and pornography apps that were previously banned can now be installed. The DMA, which came into force last year, requires large tech companies to open up their platforms to competitors. Apple adjusted the rules and fees in its App Store in June to comply with EU competition regulations."
Apple has filed a request with the European Commission asking for repeal of the Digital Markets Act during the law's effectiveness review. Apple asserts the DMA has forced delays to features such as iPhone mirroring to Mac, live AirPods translation, and location-based Maps functionality in the EU because of interoperability and compliance requirements. Apple contends those requirements either introduce technical barriers or risk compromising user data. Apple also warns that mandated sideloading and alternative app marketplaces raise risks of scams, malware, and inappropriate apps. The European Commission states that gatekeepers must allow interoperability under the DMA and that compliance is mandatory.
