Apple’s operating system iPadOS must comply with all relevant obligations under the Digital Markets Act
Apple must ensure its operating system iPadOS complies with all the relevant obligations under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). In April 2024, the Commission added Apple’s iPadOS to the list of core platform services for which Apple is designated as gatekeeper.
Apple must, among others, allow users to set the default web browser of their choice on iPadOS, allow alternative app stores on its operating system, and allow accessory devices, like headphones and smart pens, to effectively access iPadOS features.
On 1 November, Apple also published a compliance report detailing the measures it has taken for iPadOS to comply with the DMA. The public version of the report is accessible on the Commission’s DMA webpage.
The Commission will now carefully assess whether the measures adopted for iPadOS are effective in complying with the DMA obligations. The Commission’s assessment will also be based on the input of interested stakeholders.
If the Commission concludes that Apple’s solutions are not compliant with the DMA, the Commission will take formal enforcement action as foreseen in the DMA.
