The European Union threatens "Apple" with heavy fines if the iPhone does not open for competitors

Apple received a warning from the European Union asking it to open its two systems to operate the ‘iPhone’ and ‘iPad’ that are strongly protected before competing technologies, or the risk of experiencing heavy fines among the major anti -digital monopoly rules of the block. The European Union’s regulatory bodies, under the Bloc, announced that the California’s Copeno -based company must comply with new strict laws on making operating systems that are fully compatible with other technologies. The competitive body, based in Brussels, gave the company for a six -month period to meet, or face a threat with fines. Although this announcement has not reached the level of the official investigation, the European Union aims to force “Apple” to redesign its services to enable competitive enterprises to reach “iPhone” and “iPad” operating systems. “Today, the first time we have used the specifications for specifications under the digital market law to lead Apple to effective compliance with its obligations related to the inter -employment.” And “Effective inter -operation, for example, plays smartphones and operating systems, an important role in this context.” Apple’s response to the European warning on his part, Apple, based in Cuperno, California, said it created ways for developers to request more compatibility with the iPhone and iPad operating systems while maintaining users’ safety. The company added that the undermining of the protection built in its systems over time could jeopardize European consumers. The value of Apple shares rose 1.6% to $ 224.25 before opening the market; Investors traded 164,801 shares. The announcement of the European Union confirms a previous report published by Bloomberg. Among the goals of the digital market law are to ensure that other developers have the ability to achieve basic features in Apple devices, such as healthy orders via “Siri” and their payment sliding. A possible formal investigation may later decide that the European Union should open an official investigation if Apple does not comply with the digital market law, which could eventually lead to heavy fines of up to 10% of its global annual sales. The company already has a parallel investigation into the applicant rules for developers, which can also lead to serious fines. Earlier this month, Apple revealed the latest version of its main product, “iPhone 16”, that it can attract consumers with minor updates in the components and artificial intelligence technology still in the beginning phases. But in June, the giant American company announced that certain features (including ‘Apple Intelligence’ for Artificial Intelligence, ‘iPhone Miring’ for screen reflection and ‘sher play’ for media part) will be blocked from the European Union market because of the requirements of the digital market law that correspond to the third party systems.
