Notably, Apple is recognized for its closed ecosystem, which limits interaction with other operating systems like Android and Windows. Nonetheless, recent information suggests that the tech giant will soon introduce services for other brands on Android devices, enabling Galaxy users to interact with Apple users through various services.

However, it’s not Apple that’s driving these changes, but rather the EU regulations. According to reports, the EU has instructed Apple to open up its ecosystem services, such as file sharing and internet connectivity, to other brands. This will include services like AirDrop and AirPlay, which can be accessed by other brands as well.In simpler terms, if Apple unlocks its services, it will become easier for users of other brands to interact with iPhone and other Apple device users, facilitating seamless file transfer and data sharing across devices.

As expected, Apple is not pleased with this development, as opening up its services to other devices may require the company to optimize its services for smoother performance. In an official statement, the company expressed its concerns, stating that “today’s decisions will wrap us in red tape, slowing down Apple’s ability to innovate for users in Europe and forcing us to give away our new features for free to companies who don’t have to play by the same rules.”As per the EU’s conditions, Apple must begin testing the new changes by the end of 2025 and fully implement them by 2026. The EU has strictly emphasized that Apple must adhere to the suggested timeline without any delays.
