About this listen

The European Union is pressuring Apple to enhance the interoperability of its iOS features with Android and other platforms. Specifically, the EU demands Apple open its AirDrop file-sharing and AirPlay streaming protocols to third-party devices. Apple counters that this could compromise user privacy, citing concerns about data access by companies like Meta. The EU’s mandate includes other iOS modifications, like allowing background app functionality similar to Apple's own apps and enabling third-party smartwatch notifications. Failure to comply could result in substantial fines for Apple.
