After a couple of changes, Apple seems to have satisfied the EU and the antitrust law to avoid the fine over the browser change on iPhones.
, to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), Apple allowed users to choose a default web browser from a list of options on their iPhones with iOS 18.2. Previously, all they could use as the default browser was the stock Safari. The same browser choice screen was also expanded to iPads running iPadOS 18.2 or above.
However, this was the second change, as Apple’s first attempt didn’t sit well with browser companies, which criticized Apple for deliberately slowing down the rollout.
