UK regulators give Google and Apple 'strategic market status' due to dominance in mobile ecosystems.
The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has granted Google and Apple “strategic market status” over their dominance in the nation’s mobile ecosystems, citing control of 90% to 100% of smartphones.
This designation, enabled by new digital market rules, allows the CMA to intervene in areas like app store commissions, app reviews, and search rankings to promote competition.
The move follows investigations into platform practices that may hinder innovation and consumer choice.
While Google called the decision “disappointing,” and Apple warned of risks to user safety and privacy, the CMA stressed the action aims to foster fairer digital markets without implying wrongdoing.
