I-Apple ngeke ibe nayo enye indlela ngaphandle kokuvula amadivaysi ayo ezitolo zohlelo lokusebenza ngaphandle kwaleyo esemthethweni, kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi izolahlekelwa ukulawula kuzo, ngoba izoqhubeka nokushaja nokubuyekeza izinhlelo zokusebenza.
Umyalelo omusha wase-Europe emakethe yedijithali (i-DMA) uphoqa i-Apple ukuthi ivumele ukufakwa kwezicelo ezivela kumasayithi angaphandle kwesitolo sayo sezinhlelo zokusebenza esisemthethweni, nomnqamulajuqu ophela ngoMashi olandelayo, futhi ohlose ukuqeda "i-monopoly" evela ku-Apple ku-iOS. Lokhu kuvule zonke izinhlobo zokuqagela, kusukela kokuthi "noma yini eya" kuye labo abacabanga ukuthi lokhu kuzofana ne-Android futhi kuzokuvumela ukuthi ufake noma isiphi isitolo sohlelo lokusebenza ongasilanda ku-inthanethi, ngisho nalabo bethu abacabanga ukuthi i-Apple izoqhubeka nokulawula okuqinile kulokho esingakufaka kumadivayisi ethu. Futhi amahemuhemu akamuva aqinisekisa ukuthi lesi sikhundla sokugcina yisona esizohambisana kakhulu neqiniso.
Izicelo zingase zifakwe ezitolo ezingaphandle kwe-App Store, lokho akunakugwenywa, kodwa Izicelo kusazodingeka zidlule ohlelweni lokubuyekezwa yi-Apple, futhi inkampani ihlela ukukhokhisa amakhomishini kulezi zitolo zangaphandle.. Asazi noma azoba amakhomishini ngendlela ye-% yokuthengisa, noma isilinganiso esinqunyiwe sokukwazi ukufaka izinhlelo zokusebenza ku-iPhone ne-iPad. Okungenani lona umqondo abanawo e-Cupertino, futhi angingabazi ukuthi kuzoba kanjani le nkathi entsha ngaphandle "kwe-monopoly" iqala. Engingakungabazi futhi ukuthi iKhomishini YaseYurophu izodinga izinyathelo ezintsha ezifuna ukunciphisa ukulawula kwe-Apple kumadivayisi ayo. Lezi zinyathelo okwamanje zizoba nomthelela emakethe yaseYurophu, nakuba zingagcina ziphoqe i-United States ukuthi yenze into efanayo ngokushesha kunokuba kamuva.
