EU’s Digital Markets Act is proving to be a nightmare for Apple. You may have followed the back and forth on deciding just how third-party app stores will work, but there’s more to it than that. For example, Apple is supposed to show a browser choice screen, similar to what Microsoft had to do with Windows a decade ago. And that’s not the end of it either.

John Gruber of Daring Fireball noticed comments by Margrethe Vestager, who leads the EC’s “Europe Fit for the Digital Age” initiative. They suggest that Apple must provide not only a choice of which apps to install and use – but also which apps to uninstall.

Vestager highlighted the Photos app in particular, but there are several such apps that are currently deeply integrated into iOS. Too deeply, perhaps. Photos is the gallery app, sure, but it also works as the file picker when you try to share a photo or a video.
