The group has provisionally found that Apple's rules restrict other competitors from being able to deliver new, innovative features that could benefit consumers. Other browser providers have highlighted concerns that they have been unable to offer a full range of browser features, such as faster webpage loading on iPhone.
The CMA's investigation is based on the premise that Apple and Google have an effective duopoly on mobile platforms, allowing them to set the rules of how mobile browsers work.
The UK's Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act will give the UK body extra means to process its next steps with technology giants, aiming to encourage competition in the mobile browser market.
Apple maintains that it restricts browser engines to ensure user privacy and security, indicating a conflict between innovation and these priorities.
