A visual with a table surrounded by the stars of the EU flags, in which some have been replaced with sketched chat bubbles, a small tablet with logos popping out, an open lock, and a shield. Below is the text “More choice for consumers.” At the bottom is the European Commission’s logo.

   🔴 We designated Apple’s iPadOS as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act.

   Our investigation shows that its tablet operating system is an important gateway for businesses to reach consumers due to its large and commercially attractive user base and its importance for specific use cases.

   We also discovered that Apple leverages its large ecosystem to disincentivise end users from switching to other tablet operating systems.

   We will keep monitoring #DMA compliance very closely.
