The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has officially dropped its antitrust investigation into Apple over the App Store, WebKit, and Xbox Cloud Gaming policies. But things might not be over just yet.
A few years ago, the CMA opened an antitrust probe into Apple. The tech giant came under investigation over the market power of Safari and WebKit on devices like the best iPhones and iPads. The CMA slammed Apple’s requirement that all iOS browsing apps must use WebKit, saying that this "severely limits the potential for rival browsers to differentiate themselves" and gives Apple a free pass to not bother improving Safari. The CMA also had concerns about Apple's restrictions against streaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia.
