Apple is tired: it explodes against Europe and DMA in a destructive statement

“Over time, it became clear that DMA does not benefit the markets. Commercial activity in Europe is difficult. ” Apple published one of the most difficult messages in her historyThe field is your name Influence of the Law on Digital Markets on EU UsersAnd it deepens why this law is harmful to users, the call and confidentiality of all those who interact with Apple products.

Apple seems to be tired of restrictions, bureaucratic obstacles and requirements imposed by the EU with DMA (law on digital markets). According to California, most of all the requirements Competition worsens in EuropeThey prevent users from having innovative options as the rest of the world, and, in addition, endanger the security of their data.

The statement has a clear goal: that users know the real reason why some recently declared functions do not arrive in EuropeIn addition to the deepening of some changes that were implemented for a while, and which are confidential for users, according to Apple, from the capricious requirements of DMA.

Why don’t Apple come in Europe?

Apple was very clear and commented that the demand of the EU and DMA and DMA a number of changes in their functions that are interrupted with their philosophy of quality and safetyThe California field implies that this law requires the design of certain functions with the requirements that undermine the confidentiality of users and that, in addition, they worsen experience and do not put it to other countries.

To top it off, the EU requires Apple Develop some functions openlyWith the intention that other brands and companies can use their base to develop their own systems or use them on devices from other companies.

A good example is the new Airpods. Apple has developed this function, so that translated conversations do not leave the iPhone and were completely private. Why don’t you get to Europe? Well, Apple comments that DMA requires opening this function for other brands, which directly encounters the nature of the confidentiality that the Californian wants to realize.

Another example is the option Duplicate iPhoneThis function allows you to interact with a mobile interface with Mac to drag files, see notifications or calls. There is no place in Europe, because Apple has not yet found a form Share usefulness with other brands without at risk all iPhone dataField

Apple not only suppresses the confidentiality of its users, but also comments that she offered various EU alternatives so that these functions occupy a place in Europe and that Everyone was rejectedField

“DMA means that the list of delayed functions in the EU will probably increase”The field if Apple does not want to go through the opening ring of its functions, and the EU does not cooperate to do it possible, the company made it clear that The list of functions that European users will not enjoy will increase over time.

Apple has already passed hoops in some cases, and the result is contrary to

You should not think that Apple has closed in the group to the changes and requirements of DMA. A year ago, we saw one of the barriers that had previously been motionless for Apple. The company opened the iPhone for downloading applications from other stores and repositories, except for the App Store.

It was an important demand for DMA, and Apple wanted to clarify that the change meant a negative impact on the confidentiality and safety of users.

• More risks when making payments. Apple has one of the safer payment systems in the world in the application store, and from the DMA it ceased to be like that. The EU requires that the company includes alternative methods, Even knowing that they do not correspond to the same quality control And increase the risk of fraud.
• Less intuitive experience. Apple also accuses DMA very poor cohesion with new methods of loading and payment. Apple Store has collected everything, but now there are more available interfaces, designs that do not meet the qualitative requirements of Apple, and difficult to cleanse responsibilities, if anything goes wrong.
• Applications are prohibited on the iPhone. Apple also comments in his statement that DMA has allowed harmful applications and is historically prohibited in its ecosystem, now there is a place. And, although it is positive to have, for example, retro -console emulators, it also allows you to install pornographic applications or gambling in the markets where they are prohibited.

According to Apple, Demand changes in the EU and DMA, which undermine user safety and process the qualityThe goal is to promote open ecosystems for everyone, but companies such as Apple The situation is not improving at allField

DMA has effects that contradict those who want to promote

Finally, Apple wanted to view What is the situation in Europe currently with DMAThe field of new standards was aimed at preventing monopolies, unfair competition and promoting the arrival of innovative technologies for the continent. According to Apple, None of this is performedField

• Less options. The placement of obstacles to starting functions only makes them detain or simply never arrives, as a result of which the devices in Europe are one step behind the rest of the world.
• Less differentiation. DMA requires Apple that its functions can be used by third parties, in addition to opening the Apple Store and installing unofficial stores, which leads to the fact that the iOS will be more similar to Android and prevent user selection in a closed and differential ecosystem.
• Unjust competition. Apple ends with a firm statement, showing that the EU does not apply to all companies that must meet the requirements of DMA. While the Californians are in the spotlight, other companies, such as Samsung, receive another and weaker treatment on certain issues.

This statement does not change anything in Apple, Europe or EU, but makes it clear to the company’s position regarding the requirements. Except, Clarifies the reasons why the functions, as interesting as a live translation, are delayed in EuropeField
