Apple has announced several significant updates aimed at enhancing user flexibility and compliance with EU regulations. Among these updates, Apple plans to introduce a default navigation app setting in iOS 18, specifically for EU users, allowing them to choose their preferred navigation app by March 2025. Additionally, Apple is working on a user-friendly method to facilitate data transfer from iPhone to Android, aiming to make the transition smoother for users wishing to switch platforms. This feature is expected to be available by next fall. Furthermore, Apple will enable EU users to delete the Safari web browser from their iOS devices by the end of this year, reflecting the company's efforts to provide more autonomy and customization options to its users within the European Union.
