EU Commission Finds Apple Maps and Apple Ads Not Gateways Under the Digital Markets Act

The European Commission announced that it does not consider Apple Maps and Apple Ads to be “gateways” under the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).

In a press release, the Commission explained that, taken individually, neither service is large enough to qualify as an “important gateway” as defined by the DMA. Consequently, the Commission will not apply the DMA’s gate‑keeping obligations to these two Apple products.
