@ 2024/02/28The price for being petulant
Apple could be in hot water over its decision to scrap iPhone web apps in the European Union, the Financial Times reports.
The European Commission has asked Apple and app makers for more information to help investigate, which is not a good sign.
European Commission spokesperson Lea Zuber said the Commission was looking at the rules of all gatekeepers, including Apple.
"We're especially looking into the issue of web apps and can confirm sending the requests for info to Apple and to app makers, who can give useful info for our check."
For those who came in late, Job’s Mob acted like a spoilt child when the EU told them it could not beat up web developers and steal their lunch money. Earlier this month, Apple said it would stop supporting iPhone web apps in the EU in iOS 17.4. Instead of working as separate apps with storage and the ability to send alerts, web apps in the EU will work more like links.
