Apple lost its EU court challenge against Digital Markets Act gatekeeper designation, confirming it must allow rival services interoperability across all five app stores and cannot favor its own services. The ruling upholds core DMA enforcement while dismissing Apple's iMessage investigation challenge.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

EU DMA enforcement against Apple is now legally cemented—founders building app distribution, messaging, or device interop services in EU now have clearer regulatory runway to compete on core platforms without Apple's self-preferencing.
