Alan, an ardent smartphone enthusiast and a veteran writer at PhoneArena since 2009, has witnessed and chronicled the transformative years of mobile technology. Owning iconic phones from the original iPhone to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, he has seen smartphones evolve into a global phenomenon.
Thanks to the EU's Digital Markets Act , iPhone users in the 27 member EU states are allowed to sideload apps from third-party app stores, use a non-Webkit browser, choose their own financial app for contactless payments, pay for in-app purchases using a third-party financial firm, and more. EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager is not totally thrilled with how Apple and Alphabet have responded to some of the DMA's rules.
EU Competition chief Vestager suggested that the EU might force Apple to make the Photos app removable Vestager said that the EU would continue to investigate when she added the following,"Under Article 6 of the DMA, gatekeepers have an obligation to enable easy uninstallation of apps and easy change of default settings. They must also display a choice screen. Apple's compliance model does not seem to meet the objectives of this obligation.
She continued."Example: they do not enhance user engagement with all available options. Apple also failed to make several apps un-installable and prevents end-users from changing their default status , as required by the DMA." Vestager's comments about Apple's Photos app surprised many since iPhone users can easily download a third-party photos app such as Google Photos.believes that there could be a time when Apple simply stops selling its devices in the EU.
