The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has initiated strategic market status investigations into Apple and Google as part of the new Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act. The CMA aims to assess the companies' dominance in mobile ecosystems, including browsers and app stores. This follows a previous probe into Google Search, which holds a significant market share. Stakeholders have three weeks to provide feedback, with results expected by October 22, 2025. The move signals a robust regulatory approach to enhance competition in digital markets.
