Apple must give up its monopoly on iPhone apps

In parallel to the adjustments to the app stores, Apple is also introducing further changes to counter the EU’s accusations of monopoly. In the future, European users will be able to freely set the default browser in the iPhone. So far, the Apple browser Safari automatically opens all web links. In the future, this task can also be performed by browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera or DuckDuckGo. Competitors are no longer forced to use Apple’s favored “WebKit” technology to display websites in their apps, but are allowed to use their own “web engines”.
