iOS 18: App-Store-Updates bremsen iPhone aus

Wer die Auto-Update-Funktion im iOS App Store abgeschaltet hat, muss regelmäßig händisch aktualisieren. Der Installationsprozess ist nicht der schnellste.

Hohe Provision auf Web-Käufe: EU klopft Apple angeblich auf die Finger

Apple hält bei Einkäufen im Web die Hand auf und verstößt so wohl gegen den Digital Markets Act. Mit anderen iOS-Änderungen scheinen die Regulierer zufrieden.

I just got to the bottom of a bad #bug in @inyourface. A recent update was rejected by #AppStore review because it had the Address Book entitlement without actually using it. I removed it and the version went live.
Soon after I started getting complaints about the app hanging. Turns out I was still accessing contacts data, but without the entitlement the app just stalls 🤯. No crash, no error, just the spinning beach ball. Update submitted, hoping this will fix the issue. #indiedev

"The European Commission is not backing down from efforts to rein in Big Tech. In a series of press releases today, the European Union's executive arm has announced actions against both Apple and Google. Regulators have announced that Apple will be required to open up support for non-Apple accessories on the iPhone, but it may be too late for Google to make changes. The commission says the search giant has violated the Digital Markets Act, which could lead to a hefty fine.

Since returning to power, Donald Trump has railed against European regulations that target US tech firms. In spite of rising tensions and tough talk, the European Commission seems unfazed and is continuing to follow its more stringent laws, like the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This landmark piece of EU legislation aims to make the digital economy more fair. Upon coming into force last year, the act labeled certain large tech companies, including Apple and Google, as "gatekeepers" that are subject to additional scrutiny.

Europe's more aggressive regulation of Big Tech is why iPhone users on the continent can install apps from third-party app markets while the rest of us are stuck with the Apple App Store."
