Italy’s antitrust regulator probes Apple over cloud services under Digital Market rules

Italy’s competition regulator said on Tuesday it had opened an investigation into Apple over compliance with interoperability obligations, under the European Digital Markets Act.

Under the ‌rules, ⁠Apple must ⁠ensure that third-party providers of consumer ​cloud services can inter-operate effectively and free of ​charge with hardware and software components controlled through the group’s iOS ​and iPadOS operating systems, ⁠and have ‌equal access as Apple’s ​iCloud ​service.
