UK regulators start investigating Apple and Google's dominance over mobile ecosystems.

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has begun investigating Apple and Google's mobile ecosystems, including their operating systems, app stores, and browsers, to determine if they should be designated as having "strategic market status." This designation could require the companies to open up access to key functionalities for third-party apps and allow users to download apps outside their app stores. The investigation aims to assess competition and whether the companies favor their own apps and services. The probe is due to conclude by Oct. 22, 2025.
