<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/03/app-store-eu.webp?w=1600)</div><p>The EU commission announced today (https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/mex_24_5662) that it is now formally assessing whether iPadOS, the underlying software for Apple’s iPad tablets, is in compliance with the Digital Markets Act.</p>



<p>The DMA requires that iPadOS must allow the choice of a default web browser, allow alternative app stores, and support accessory ecosystems “like headphones and smart pens”, in the European region.</p>
