I-Apple ilungiselela utshintsho olubalulekileyo lwe-iOS, ivula inkqubo yayo ngakumbi kwaye ivumela ukufakwa kweevenkile zesicelo ngaphandle kwe-App Store.
I-European Union ibe yintloko yokwenyani ku-Apple mva nje. Ukuba iPhone kuya kufuneka ekugqibeleni yamkela i-USB-C, ditching the Lightning connector, utshintsho aluyi kufikelela kuphela kwi-hardware kodwa i-iOS iya kufuneka ivule ngakumbi. Kwaye enye yeengcango eziya kufuneka ivulwe yile yevenkile yesicelo.
Njengoko iBloomberg ipapashile, iApple sele isebenza ngokuvumela ezinye iivenkile zeapp kwi-iPhone kunye ne-iPad. I-European Union ityhala ngamandla abo basuka eCupertino, kwaye ngaphambi kokuba izohlwayo ezinokwenzeka zifike, i-Apple ifuna ukuthatha inyathelo lokuqala. Oku kuya kuthetha ukuba I-Apple ayisayi kuba nolawulo lwento efakiweyo kunye nengekhoyo kwi-iPhone okanye kwi-iPad, kunye neengenelo kunye nokungalunganga oku kuthetha oko. Iinkampani ezinkulu zomphuhlisi ezifana ne-Epic ziya kuyibona iminqweno yazo ifezekiswa ngesi sigqibo, kuba bekungayi kufuneka ukuba badlule kumrhumo we-30% obekwe yi-Apple ngokuba kwivenkile yayo.
Ayizi kuphela ezinye iivenkile eziya kuvunyelwa, kodwa ukufikelela kuya kunikwa ezinye ii-API zabucala ezithi ngoku kuphela i-Apple isebenzise iinkonzo zayo, umzekelo i-NFC. I-European Union iphanda ukuxhatshazwa okunokwenzeka ukuze kuthintelwe ezinye izicelo okanye iinkonzo zinokusebenzisa inkqubo yentlawulo ye-iPhone ngokusivumela ukuba sifikelele kwi-NFC ngale njongo. ukuba ivuleleka kwabanye abathwali, ungasebenzisa iGoogle Pay kunye ne-iPhone yakho, umzekelo.
Ngokutsho kweBloomberg, olu tshintsho zenzelwe ukuba ziphunyezwe eYurophu, kwaye kukho amathandabuzo malunga nokuba baya kufikelela kwezinye iindawo, nakwi-United States, apho i-Apple ingenayo iingxaki ezininzi kunye nemibutho elawulayo.
