Event summary
Apple has informed the European Commission that its Apple Ads and Apple Maps services meet the Digital Markets Act (DMA) thresholds, triggering a 45-day review period for potential gatekeeper designation. This development follows recent antitrust cases and significant fines against Apple and Meta Platforms for DMA violations. The gatekeeper label would impose strict pro-competition obligations on these services, intensifying the regulatory pressure on U.S. tech giants in Europe.
