Apple Accuses EU of Stalling DMA Compliance, Blames "Political Delay Tactics"

  • Apple claims the European Commission is preventing it from implementing App Store changes required by the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
  • The tech giant alleges the EU is using "political delay tactics" to pursue investigations and penalties against an American company.
  • MacPaw's Setapp Mobile, an alternative iOS app marketplace in the EU, is shutting down due to "complex business terms," highlighting friction in DMA compliance.
  • Apple states it submitted a formal compliance plan in October but has not received a response from the Commission.
  • The European Commission reportedly plans to argue Apple has not adequately addressed key issues regarding its business terms' complexity.

Why It Matters: Apple accuses the EU of deliberately delaying DMA compliance, while the EU points to Apple's complex terms.
