The European Union is now demanding that Apple open iOS to external developers, or else the company faces large fines under new digital antitrust regulations. This requirement not only involves granting access to third-party applications but also enabling deeper integration of alternative app stores and payment systems.
This decision is explained by the need to ensure full compatibility of operating systems with other technologies, which should promote competition and reduce the monopolistic influence of major IT companies. European regulators believe this will lead to more choices for users and create fairer conditions for developers.
