The European Union (EU) is pushing for better support for third-party styluses in iPadOS.
The EU wants Apple to allow alternative app stores, default web browsers, and effective access to iPadOS features for accessories like headphones and smart pens.
Apple could face steep fines if it does not comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and give third-party styluses and earbuds the same level of access as Apple Pencil and AirPods in iPadOS.
The EU's push for these changes could potentially influence regulators in the United States to follow suit.
