Apple complains Meta requests risk privacy in spat over EU efforts to widen access to iPhone tech

Apple has raised concerns that requests from Meta platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, for access to its operating software could compromise user privacy. The European Union's Commission is in the process of developing interoperability guidelines for Apple, under its new digital competition regulations. The proposed measures seek to ensure smooth compatibility between Apple devices and other technologies. In response, Apple stated that it is worried about companies, like Meta, who may exploit interoperability provisions to access sensitive user data. The European Commission's proposals suggest a request-based process for access, with a designated contact and a conciliation process for disputes. Feedback on the proposals is being sought from the public.
