Apple’s Cook Raises Concern Over EU’s Tech Rules Which Is Believed To Place Security Of iPhones At Risk

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

Apple’s (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook raised how proposed European rules aimed at curbing the power of U.S. tech giants, could pose security and privacy risks to iPhones. Cook, in his first public comments about the Digital Markets Act (DMA) proposed by EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager, raised concerns over some decisions.  He expressed he feared the draft rules would lead to more installing of apps that do not come via Apple’s App Store, or via “side-loading”.

“You take an example here where I don’t think it’s in the best interest (of the user): the current DMA language that is being discussed would force side-loading on the iPhone,” the Apple CEO, speaking remotely, said at VivaTech, France´s biggest tech conference.
