Last week the company Apple issued a number of announcements related to changes in App Store and iPhone in the European Union. The company Apple is making these changes because it has to comply with the Digital Markets Act, and a new interview with Phil Schiller makes it clear that Apple he is very worried about these changes.

In an interview with Fast Company Phil Schiller He acknowledged that changes such as alternative online app stores and alternative in-app purchase options mean new opportunities for developers. However, these opportunities also carry certain undeniable risks. “These new regulations bring new opportunities for developers, but also new risks. We cannot avoid this. That is why we are doing everything we can to mitigate these risks for everyone.” mini"they were malingering," stated Schiller in the aforementioned interview.

Alternative online stores, among other things, for example, have the potential to get content into iPhones that Apple in his App Stora previously did not allow it. Schiller said in an interview with Fast Company that it may simply be content that the company Apple evaluated as dangerous or inappropriate. "Whether other app stores have the same terms and restrictions will no longer depend on our decision," he pointed out.

Schiller further stated that the company Apple For more than 15 years, it has had to face incentives either for greater benevolence in terms of content in App Store, or conversely, to increase control of potentially objectionable content. Apple Over the years, he has created his own rules that he believes work. But these rules will not apply to other app stores, which increases the risk that “more vulnerable” users, in particular, may encounter inappropriate or risky content. Schiller says he is concerned about apps that will be available outside of App Store, as well as the fact that many users mindlessly agree to the rules of use of these alternative marketplaces.
