UK Initiates Investigations into Apple and Google's Mobile Ecosystems

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority is investigating Apple and Google for their control over mobile ecosystems, which includes operating systems, app stores, and browsers. The investigations aim to determine if the practices of both companies are unfair to developers and consumers, possibly constraining competition. The outcome of the investigations is anticipated by the end of October 2025 and could result in new regulations for the companies. The CMA stressed the significance of promoting competition for both consumers and businesses, stating that it plays a crucial role in the economy.
