As a result, the company has withheld new features from European users due
to DMA rules, including Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring on the Mac and SharePlay Screen Sharing.
As a result of Apple's anti-consumer stance, the European Commission will
tell Apple the measures it has to take for cross-device interoperability
and the EU says that the company is expected to follow them this time.
The European Commission is done waiting for Apple to comply with the rules
of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). It has started proceedings designed to
ensure that the company complies with its interoperability obligations as
one of DMA's designated gatekeepers, which are made up of the industry's largest and most important players.

One of the areas the commission will focus on is iOS connectivity for
connected devices, such as smartwatches, headphones and virtual reality headsets.
The EU is aware that the only way Apple is ever going to give its customers
any sense of decency and respect is by an act of law from a governing body which is more powerful than Apple's board of directors. Hard to find it is.
