The EU may force Apple to make another massive change to iOS 27, but it might not affect everyone
The European Union may compel Apple to introduce new video-casting options in iOS 27, potentially allowing alternatives to AirPlay. This change is part of the EU's Digital Markets Act aimed at increasing competition among tech services. However, it remains uncertain whether these updates will be implemented globally or just within the EU.
- ▪Apple is reportedly set to offer video-casting alternatives in iOS 27 to comply with EU regulations.
- ▪The changes may only apply to users in the EU, leaving other regions with the current AirPlay system.
- ▪Apple has previously made adjustments to iOS due to the Digital Markets Act, but only for EU residents.
