Apple criticises European Union draft measures that seek to improve competitors’ access to Google-related services used for AI offerings. In a statement, Apple says the European Commission’s draft measures raise “urgent and serious concerns” and, if finalised, could create “profound risks” affecting user privacy, security and safety, as well as device integrity and performance. The company argues the proposals could change how services operate on Apple devices and increase exposure to vulnerabilities. The EU initiative is framed as part of efforts to make the market for AI and digital services more competitive by reducing barriers to access for rivals. Apple’s comments reflect concern that compliance could require changes on its devices or alter existing protections. The outlets report Apple’s critique of the draft measures, including the specific risks it highlights to users and device performance. The EU process remains ongoing, with the measures still in draft form at the time of Apple’s response.
