Italy Opens Formal iCloud Interoperability Probe Against Apple

Italy's AGCM opened a formal investigation into Apple on 16 June 2026 over iCloud compliance with Digital Markets Act interoperability obligations. The probe marks a second jurisdictional thread alongside ongoing EU-level enforcement. Apple must allow third-party cloud services fair access under DMA Article 6. This follows the European Commission's March 2025 decisions specifying concrete Apple compliance measures and an April 2025 settlement on separate user choice obligations.
