Apple Details How It Plans to Comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act
so much work and then they make most of it "EU only".
it would be easier to make the changes global but ofc gotta maximize the amount of money they make in other regions
A detail I just saw mentioned in a Ars Technica comment about the "alternative app marketplace" part of this.
One of the requirements is:
"Provide Apple a stand-by letter of credit from an A-rated (or equivalent by S&P, Fitch, or Moody’s) financial Institution of €1,000,000 to establish adequate financial means in order to guarantee support for your developers and users."

This seems like it would make a "FOSS app marketplace" on Apple devices in the EU fairly untenable.
