Comment by European Commission

Under Article 6(7) of the DMA, Apple must provide developers and businesses with free and effective interoperability with hardware and software features controlled by its operating systems iOS and iPadOS. The objective of Article 6(7) DMA is that devices, apps and products from third parties can be used on an iPhone as seamlessly as Apple’s own products. The specification decisions adopted today support Apple in achieving this objective, by detailing how to securely allow third parties to use certain features that are so far only available to Apple devices.

Verification History

AI Unverifiable Source URL (digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu Q&A on interoperability) returns HTTP 403 from WebFetch. Web search confirms the European Commission DMA Q&A pages contain near-identical wording: under Article 6(7) of the DMA, Apple must provide developers and businesses with free and effective interoperability with hardware and software features controlled by iOS and iPadOS, and the Commission's specification decisions detail how to securely allow third parties to use features so far only available to Apple devices. Vote (For 'Grant developers the right to interoperate with large platforms without permission') aligns with the EC position. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol because I cannot directly fetch the source page. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 10d ago
