The European Union will review Apple's iPadOS to assess its compliance with the Digital Markets Act rules

gezixuan reported on November 4 that, according to Reuters, the European Commission issued a statement on Monday saying that the EU antitrust regulator will review Apple's iPadOS to assess whether it complies with the EU's important regulations aimed at limiting the power of technology giants - the Digital Markets Act (Digital Markets Act, hereinafter referred to as DMA).
The European Commission's review stems from Apple's iPadOS compliance report. In April, the European Commission recognized iPadOS as an important "gateway" for connecting businesses and consumers. The EU's antitrust regulator said in a statement that the Commission will scrutinize in detail whether the measures taken by iPadOS have effectively met its obligations under the DMA.

The statement also noted that the Commission's assessment will be based on feedback from relevant stakeholders. Apple did not respond to a request for comment.

The DMA, which went into effect earlier this year, requires Apple to allow users to choose a default browser on the iPad, open up third-party app stores in the operating system, and allow (third-party) headphones and smartpens to use iPadOS features. Violations of the DMA can result in fines of up to 10% of annual global revenue.
