Just hours ago, it became known that Apple finally chose a partner To charge iPhone with artificial intelligence in China; In Europe, although things are going south of the Cuperno giant.

Apple again at the intersection of German organizers – the American giant is Facing accusations of using market dominance to give itself an unfair advantage through the ATT tracking feature.

The German Anti-Monopathic Authority (Federal Cartel Office-a kind of great names, when I think about it), imposed fees on the technology giant to restrict competition by making it difficult for third-party applications to track users for advertising purposes while giving special services a competitive advantage.

If Apple fails to address these concerns, you may face daily fines, adding another chapter to the continuous scrutiny of its commercial practices in Europe. I mean, Europe distributes sanctions high-while the United States and China seem to enjoy all the fun technology, and reach innovations and different things. But this is another story.

As we have It was previously reported, the ATT feature, which was presented in 2021 with iOS 14.5, was marketed as a privacy -focused tool, allowing users to withdraw from tracking it through various applications.

Although this was welcomed by privacy advocates, he immediately retracted companies that depend on advertising tracking, most notably Meta, whose business model depends on the targeted advertisement. Critics argued that despite the imposition of Apple tracking restrictions on third -party applications, it continued to collect the valuable user data for its own advertising efforts, which effectively tends to play in its favor.

This can be considered “dual standards” and the Federal Cartel Office saw this in this way, as it raised a case against Apple, with the organizers suggesting that the company may have created artificial barriers.

German organizers have pointed to concerns about whether the feature is applied in an unfair way from Apple while restricting competitors. Years ago, the Federal Cartel Office launched an investigation on whether Att is really a pro -conjugation initiative or a strategic step to unify Apple control over its ecological system.

Now, after the investigation for three years, the authorities have officially shipped Apple, and the company has risen to change its approach.

Apple defended its website, saying that it maintains higher standards than other developers and is still committed to giving users more control of their data.
