The EU competition rules for gatekeepers particularly affect Apple, after all, the company operates the most closed ecosystem and wakes up over its app-store billion sales. Apple has now noticed the abolition of the law on digital markets (Digital Markets Act – DMA) – with a tailwind from the Trump government. iPhone users in the EU are increasingly getting between the chairs, the first small and larger innovations are already missing in the operating systems.
In Episode 105, Kirchner and Leo Becker look at the positions of the two parties and the consequences of the now open dispute for users. We discuss what the EU Commission actually wants from Apple-and why the group sees itself on the foot. It is also about the questions whether the EU rules really rob the iPhone “magic” and whether an Apple opening on its own would not have been the better strategy. To get started, Kirchner and Becker also briefly exchange their first experiences with iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
