A baker's-dozen of insight crammed into one ring.
Summary
A new FSFE report reveals that Apple has declined all 56 interoperability requests under the EU's Digital Markets Act, despite the European Commission's specification decision. The report shows Apple's rejections contradict its own official documentation, leaving third-party developers locked out of iOS and iPadOS ecosystems. The analysis examines how Apple's request-based approach to DMA compliance has failed to produce concrete solutions for interoperability.
