Apple is requesting the European Commission to revoke the technology legislation, cautioning that if changes are not made, it may halt the shipment of specific products and services to the 27-member bloc.

In its latest dispute with Brussels, the iPhone manufacturer argued that the digital market regulations have resulted in poorer experiences for Apple users, increased security risks, and disrupted the integration of Apple products.

The Silicon Valley company faced scrutiny from a three-year-old anti-Monopoly Act committee review aimed at regulating the dominance of major digital companies, including search engines, app developers, and messaging platforms.

It claimed that the legislation has already postponed the introduction of features such as live translation via AirPods and the demands for interoperability with non-Apple products, including live translation and screen mirroring from iPhones to laptops.

“The DMA implies that the list of features delayed for EU users will likely grow, leading to further delays in their experience with Apple products,” the company stated. It also noted that Brussels is fostering unfair competition, as the same rules don’t apply to Samsung, the leading smartphone vendor in the EU.

Some DMA requirements necessitate that Apple ensures headphones from other brands operate on iPhones. Apple expressed that this is a barrier preventing the rollout of live translation services in the EU, as competing companies could access conversation data, raising privacy concerns.

Apple argued that the DMA should be retracted or at least replaced with more suitable regulations. While it did not clarify which products could hinder future sales in the EU, it mentioned that the Apple Watch, first introduced a decade ago, would not be able to launch in the EU today.

This marks another confrontation between the California-based firm and the European Commission. Earlier this year, Apple appealed a €500 million fine levied by the EU for allegedly hindering app developers from exploring cheaper alternatives outside the app store.

In August, former US President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on unspecified nations in retaliation for regulations impacting US tech companies.

In a post on Truth Social, he remarked: “I stand against a country that attacks our incredible American tech companies. Digital taxes, digital service laws, and digital market regulations are all aimed at harming or discriminating against American technology.”

“They also provide the largest high-tech firms with an outrageous advantage, effectively giving a free pass to China. This needs to end, and it needs to end now!”

Referring to the DMA, Apple stated: “Rather than competing through innovation, already successful companies are twisting these laws to further their agendas to collect more data from EU citizens or to gain access to Apple’s technology without cost.”

It emphasized that the regulations under this law affect how users access apps. “Certain adult apps are available on iPhones from other markets that are not permitted in the app store, particularly due to risks posed to children.”

The European Commission has been asked for a statement on this matter.
