As Apple enthusiasts eagerly await the next iPhone update, iOS 17.4, the company has given us some clues about its impending release. The update is particularly notable, as it includes several changes that align with the European Union's Digital Markets Act, set to come into effect on March 6, 2024.
According to the Act, Apple is classified as one of the designated gatekeepers, a digital platform that holds significant power in the digital economy. These gatekeepers have been given a deadline of six months, until March 6, 2024, to comply with the Act's requirements, including opening up iOS to external app stores.
