On March 2nd, it was reported that Apple had changed its original plan to cut off access to applications that bypass its App Store. Apple had stated that this was necessary to comply with the new EU regulations. The European Commission has been preparing to launch a formal investigation into Apple's ban on so-called "progressive web apps" in the EU. This feature allows companies to create applications that can be accessed as web pages and display a button on the home screen of mobile users. (Financial Times)
