#苹果放宽加密规则 Apple Encryption Rules "Loosened" Conceals Competition

On the eve of the EU's Digital Markets Act coming into effect, Apple announced the opening of iOS sideloading and third-party payments, ending the closed ecosystem monopoly model. While developers can bypass the 30% "Apple Tax," they still need to pay a core technology fee of 0.5 euros for each installation, which has been criticized as "invisible harvesting." This move exposes the strategic compromise of tech giants under heavy regulation—exchanging program openness for profit protection. Consumers may face a complex choice of "open dividends" alongside privacy risks, and the security standard dispute between Android and iOS systems has entered a new phase. The global antitrust crackdown is rewriting the power rules of the mobile internet.
