The European Commission has been keeping its eagle eyes locked onto Apple. It has now formally announced that the EU Commission is investigating Apple's iPadOS to see if it complies with the Digital Marketers Act (DMA). The DMA requires iPadOS to allow users to choose the default web browser, allow alternative app stores, and support third-party accessories, like headphones and smart pens (stylus) in the European region.

The official announcement notes, "The Commission will now carefully assess whether the measures adopted for iPadOS are effective in complying with the DMA obligations. The Commission's assessment will also be based on the input of interested stakeholders. If the Commission concludes that Apple's solutions are not compliant with the DMA, the Commission will take formal enforcement action as foreseen in the DMA."
