The new EU law not only forces Apple's iPhone to change to USB-C, but in response to the previously passed "Digital Market Law", Apple's software service ecosystem is also forced to undergo major reforms, and foreign media revealed that Apple is already working on it.
According to Bloomberg News, Apple is preparing to launch a major change to the App Store.

The EU's "Digital Market Law" was born to prevent technology giants from monopolizing. For Apple, it will not only affect the App Store, which has always been closed, but also other software services such as iMessage. The adjustment must be completed before 6, otherwise Apple will face high fines.
However, the outside world still believes that even if Apple compromises and opens up, there should still be many restrictions under these contingencies, and it will try its best to hold the master control in its hands.
In addition, Apple's relevant adjustments may only be launched before Europe. If more other countries follow up and pass similar laws, Apple will definitely open all doors.
What’s more, it is reported that Apple is still not considering making iMessage compatible with the RCS format proposed by Google.
