EU court upholds Apple's DMA gatekeeper designation | Digital Watch O…

An EU court has upheld Apple's designation as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act, confirming the company must comply with interoperability and data-sharing obligations. The ruling closes Apple's legal challenge and locks in regulatory requirements affecting app distribution, messaging, and device integration across the EU. Apple's legal shield just broke. If you build services for iOS or integrate with Apple's walled garden, you now have a regulatory window to demand access—Apple can no longer refuse you on competitive grounds, and they've lost the court fight to avoid it.
