EU indicated which iOS features should work with devices from other manufacturers

At the end of 2024, the European Union informed Apple that it was to focus new requirements related to the implementation of the Digital Market Legislative Act (DMA). Now The new requirements are a factthey include access to other manufacturers to notification systems, the ability to provide alternatives to Airdrop and Airplay, as well as a number of other measures that Apple, of course, disagreeS

The new EU requirements are fully focused on the effective IOS interoperability with other platforms. These include access to devices outside the Apple ecosystem to the notification system, as well as the ability to apply these devices to operate in the background. This would be useful for smartwatch manufacturers, for example, as these features have only been available on Apple Watch so far.

Another aspect that will have to be from now on unlocked is access to the automatic connection options and automatically switching audio products from one device to another. These features will also be available for wireless headsets outside AirPods Apple's ecosystem.

The list also includes the permission of the NFC chip available on Apple's smartphones and smartwatches to access information such as reserved banking information, creating a high-speed Wi-Fi connection between individual users, and the ability to provide wireless network information to my external devices and applications.

The Kupertino technological giant reacts sharply to this decision, stating that it will prevent the faster development of new features for their users in Europe and another major concern for apple is that he will have to provide these innovations to other companies without any monetary compensation.
