The European Commission plans to come up with its own measures that Apple has to follow to ensure interoperability if it doesn't want to pay huge fines.

The European Commission has launched two specification proceedings to force Apple to meet its interoperability obligations (the ability to work with other devices) as outlined in the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The EU needs Apple to open up its devices to work better with accessories and other platforms.

European regulators want Apple to open up device pairing, notifications and more to other companies' products.
