Risk of huge fines under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). According to Bloomberg, EU regulators announced under the Digital Markets Act that Apple must comply with strict new laws to make its closed operating system fully compatible with other technologies and give it six months to open its operating system. One of the EU's goals is to force Apple to redesign its operating system to ensure that rival companies and other developers can access key Apple features such as Siri voice commands and payment chips. This means that the Apple operating system may need to officially open third-party applications to "sideload" apps and open API interfaces for other developers to use, so that Apple will no longer monopolize certain key functions. If Apple does not comply with DMA regulations, the EU may later decide to launch a formal investigation, which may ultimately result in Apple having to pay a huge fine of up to 10% of global annual revenue. In addition, Apple is already facing a parallel investigation by the European Union into its app store rules for developers. If there are repeated DMA violations, the fine may even increase to 20%. Based on Apple’s estimated global revenue of US$383.3 billion in fiscal year 2023, the maximum fine may exceed US$76.6 billion. Will Apple open up iOS under EU pressure?

Earlier this month, Apple released the latest version of iPhone 16, featuring the upcoming update of its AI feature Intelligence. However, in June this year, the US technology giant said that certain features, including Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring and SharePlay screen sharing, would be prohibited from use in the EU due to the DMA's requirements for operating system compatibility with third-party applications.
