Company “Apple ” announced that it intends to allow the European Union (EU) “iPhone” for users how set the main navigation program to something other than “Apple Maps“. This innovation, which is planned to be implemented Iki in 2025 in March, is a change in Apple’s strategy from the usual closed ecosystem and is a response to recent changes in EU legislation, in particular EU Digital Markets Act.
Apple’s decision to provide a choice of primary navigation apps comes amid growing pressure from regulators to increase competition and consumer choice in digital ecosystems.
By allowing users to choose third-party navigation apps such as “Google Maps” or “Waze”, Apple seeks to comply with the requirements of the EU DMA to regulate its monopoly activities. Using Home App Control for navigation extends Apple’s existing Home App Control system.
These changes are likely to be implemented”iOS 18” and will likely only be available to EU users. After the entry into force of the EU Digital Markets Act, Apple aipointed out that the changes made in accordance with the new legal requirements will apply only in the EU.
