The European Union’s European Commission has urged Apple to make its iOS operating system more accessible to third-party developers and devices, aiming to reduce the tech giant’s dominance.

The demands include guidelines for external developers, contacts for managing requests, and improved disputes resolution.

Apple has criticized the request, citing concerns over user privacy and security, especially with Meta frequently requesting access to iOS features.

The company also warned that the regulations could hinder innovation and expose sensitive data.

The EU has threatened potential fines of up to 10% of Apple’s global revenue and a formal investigation if the company fails to comply.
