With that in mind,…

The change, which is limited to iOS and iPadOS users in the 27 EU member states, comes after the European Commission decided in March to open an investigation into Apple's compliance with competition laws. Open Web Advocacy (OWA), a group formed to advance the interests of web developers, welcomed Apple's concessions, noting that the iPhone maker has adopted six of the 11 recommendations to meet DMA requirements.
