HA! The Article of the DMA that "encourages" Apple to allow for better compatibility with competing products (like earbuds, watches, and services like AirDrop) is Article 6(7)!
SIX SEVEN YALL!!!
Benefits for business and end users What does this mean for me as an iPhone user? The objective of Article 6(7) DMA is that devices, apps and products from third parties can be used on an iPhone as seamlessly as Apple’s own products. The specification decisions adopted today support Apple in achieving this objective, by detailing how to securely allow third parties to use certain features that are so far only available to Apple devices. For example, the specification decision on connected devices aims to enable, amongst others, the following improvements: iPhone users will have enhanced possibilities to receive push notifications including pictures on their non-Apple smartwatch and reply to these notifications. iPhone users will also be able to pair their non-Apple connected devices such as headphones and smartwatches more seamlessly and easily with the iPhone. Non-Apple devices such as virtual reality headsets will benefit from better and faster data connections with the iPhone. Developers will be able to integrate alternative solutions to Apple’s AirDrop and AirPlay services on the iPhone. As a result, iPhone users will be able to choose from different and innovative services to share files with other users and cast media content from their iPhones to TVs. Thanks to these new possibilities, in the future new and innovative devices may be developed for the iPhone users, something which was until now constrained by the lack of full interoperability.

@darkrat Making a phone is tough. You have to advertise HEAVILY for YEARS to make any progress on marketshare, especially in the USA.

I think instead, they see that there's already some strong headway on installing PC games on Android phones. With recent court cases kinda forcing Google to be […]
