Apple has criticized Meta Platforms' requests for access to its iOS operating system, claiming they threaten user privacy and could enable Meta to read user messages, emails, track app usage, and access sensitive data. Apple's complaint stems from the European Union's efforts to promote interoperability between Apple devices and those from tech rivals.
LONDON— Apple complained that requests from Meta Platforms for access to its operating software threaten user privacy, in a spat fueled by the European Union’s intensifying efforts to get the iPhone maker to open up to products from tech rivals. The 27-nation EU’s executive Commission is drawing up “interoperability” guidelines for Apple under its new digital competition rulebook.
In response, Apple said it’s “concerned that some companies—with data practices that do not meet the high standards of data protection law held by the EU and supported by Apple—may attempt to abuse the DMA’s interoperability provisions to access sensitive user data.” “In fact, every time Apple is called out for anticompetitive behavior, they defend themselves on privacy grounds that have no basis inThe Brussels-based European Commission’s proposed measures call for an approach based on Apple’s existing “request-based process,” in which developers ask for access to features and functions.
