歐盟執委會(European Commission,EC)周一(4/29)宣布,繼iOS、Safari及App Store之後,蘋果的iPadOS也已被納入《數位市場法》(Digital Markets Act,DMA)的管轄範圍,要求蘋果於6個月內遵循。

DMA主要規範那些擁有龐大影響力,被視為守門人(Gatekeeper)的品牌與數位服務,以確保公平及開放的數位市場,其門檻包括最近3年每年在歐洲經濟區(EEA)營收超過75億歐元,或市值超過750億歐元,以及服務在歐盟每月活躍最終用戶超過4,500萬,或每年活躍企業用戶超過1萬。

EC表示,蘋果的商業用戶超過DMA閥值的11倍,最終用戶數則接近閥值。此外,最終用戶被鎖在iPadOS上,蘋果利用其龐大的生態系統來阻止使用者轉至其它平板電腦的作業系統,企業用戶也被鎖在iPadOS上,因為它擁有龐大且具備商業吸引力的用戶群,同時它也是遊戲等特定程式的關鍵平臺。

首批受到DMA規範的業者及服務已於今年3月6日的截止日之前履行EC的要求,而新加入的iPadOS也必須在6個月內符合要求,包括允許歐洲用戶自Apple App Store以外的市集下載程式,移除預裝於iPad上的程式,以及自行選擇裝置上的預設服務等。

而遊戲業者Epic Games也在EC宣布此事的同一天指出,先前遭到蘋果下架的遊戲《要塞英雄》(Fortnite),很快就會重返歐洲市場的iPhone,也會在今年重返該市場的iPad。

現階段EC仍在調查其它品牌或服務是否應納入DMA,已於今年3月收到Booking、ByteDance和X的通知,稱其服務規模可能達到DMA的門檻,EC可望於5月13日以前作出決議。
