Apple ‘not happy’ with EU’s plans to bring stricter rules against Apple Maps and other services

EU antitrust regulators are investigating whether Apple Maps and Apple Ads should face stricter Digital Markets Act rules. Apple is resisting this, arguing both services should be exempted, despite meeting the “gatekeeper” thresholds. The tech giant claims its ad business is small and Maps lacks key features, while also warning of potential product withdrawal from the EU over DMA compliance.
