Apple Quietly Addresses Antitrust Criticisms
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has never let iOS users choose default apps, instead always directing customers to its own offerings for core functionalities like email or web browsing. What may seem like a minor inconvenience for users that prefer third-party offerings has over the years evolved into a major antitrust criticism, attracting scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers around the world.
In line with previous reports earlier this year that Apple was considering changing its long-standing policy, the Mac maker has quietly just confirmed that it will soon allow users to change some default apps.
