The European Union has launched a new wave of user safety effort data requests aimed at international big tech companies, with Apple in the spotlight. The company is contending with a public outcry after introducing a 27% fee on external payments, a move reported by @AbdulSbeei that could increase costs for iPhone and iPad app users. Concurrently, Apple has proposed to the EU Commission, which is seeking public feedback, to open its iPhone tap-and-go technology to competitors as part of an antitrust case resolution. This development comes as regulators, including @benlovejoy, probe whether there is a consumer desire for additional Apple Pay competitor apps.
