Episode Details

Apple’s legal battle with the EU just took a major hit as the General Court officially confirmed Apple as a “gatekeeper” under the Digital Markets Act — a landmark ruling that validates the EU’s push to rebalance power in the digital world. Apple’s attempts to dodge the label by arguing fundamental rights or splitting its App Stores into separate entities failed, with the court calling them all functionally the same. Though Apple claims the DMA threatens privacy and security, it’s now facing a tough legal road ahead, with multiple other cases still pending — including one forcing iOS to open up to third-party developers and another over a hefty anti-steering fine. This win for Brussels signals the DMA is here to stay, even as Apple vows to keep fighting.
