Apple to Open AI Models to Developers, Betting That It Will Spur New Apps

 Bloomberg, here. 

Viral outrage over Apple’s EU payment warnings misses key fact [indeed 😀: non-compliance with the DMA!]

The Verge, here. 

"Under the DMA, app developers distributing their apps via Apple's App Store should be able to inform customers, free of charge, of alternative offers outside the App Store, steer them to those offers and allow them to make purchases.

"The Commission found that Apple fails to comply with this obligation. Due to a number of restrictions imposed by Apple, app developers cannot fully benefit from the advantages of alternative distribution channels outside the App Store. Similarly, consumers cannot fully benefit from alternative and cheaper offers as Apple prevents app developers from directly informing consumers of such offers. The company has failed to demonstrate that these restrictions are objectively necessary and proportionate" 

Not covered, Apple is telling us. Non-compliance decisions not published yet. We were used to waiting for months (years?) for the publication of 101 and 102 decisions but the DMA was supposed to be much quicker and there is also the need to ensure adaptation.
