| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the TechMeme right home for Wednesday, March 19th, 2025. I'm Brian McCullough. Today, the EU |
| 0:09.5 | Commission has brought the hammer down on Apple and Google at the same time. All the big news from |
| 0:14.2 | NVIDIA's big event yesterday. More details on that Google whiz deal, two new Pebble smartwatches |
| 0:20.5 | and Google's new entry-level pixel |
| 0:22.1 | that you can't pre-order yet. Here's what you miss today in the world of tech. |
| 0:33.1 | Well, one advantage of me being late on the show today is we get to talk about this. I would have missed it if we were still on the normal timeline. |
| 0:40.5 | The EU Commission has ordered Apple to open iOS to third-party connected devices and in preliminary findings charged Google with breaking the DMA in search and apps. |
| 0:50.1 | Quoting TechCrunch, the European Union has sent Apple preliminary instructions on how it expects the iPhone maker to comply with interoperability provisions in the Block's Digital Markets Act, its flagship market contestability reform. |
| 1:02.5 | According to the Commission, device manufacturers and app developers should be able to access nine iOS connectivity features that were restricted to Apple's exclusive use before, |
| 1:12.0 | such as peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connectivity, NFC features, and device pairing. As a result, |
| 1:17.1 | Bluetooth, headphones, smartwatches, connected TVs, or other non-Apple devices should work better |
| 1:21.6 | with an iPhone. Google could use this opportunity to make Airdrop work with Android devices. |
| 1:26.6 | Headphone manufacturers could support SharePlay, a feature that now only works with AirPods. |
| 1:31.4 | This follows the Commission's opening of two specification proceedings on Apple back in September, |
| 1:36.6 | one of which focused on ensuring the DMA's interoperability requirements are effectively met |
| 1:41.1 | when it comes to Apple allowing connected devices to tap into iOS's |
| 1:44.3 | connectivity features, including notifications and device pairing. The second concerns requests for |
| 1:50.0 | interoperability made by third-party app developers with features of Apple's iOS and iPadOS platforms. |
| 1:55.6 | In that case, the Commission recommends improved access to technical documentation as well as |
| 1:59.9 | better communication with third-party |
| 2:01.2 | companies using those features. The EU is asking for timely communication and updates and a more |
| 2:07.1 | predictable timeline for the review of interoperability requests, end quote. And then quoting |
