EU Court Confirms Apple Must Treat Five Platforms as Single Gatekeeper

The EU's General Court rejected Apple's appeal of its gatekeeper designation under the Digital Markets Act, ruling that iOS, macOS, watchOS, iPadOS, and tvOS constitute one core platform service rather than separate products. Apple sought to argue smaller platforms like tvOS warranted narrower obligations. The company must now allow rival services to interoperate across all five stores without favoring its own offerings.
