#Apple confirms it’s breaking iPhone web apps in the EU on purpose

📱 Apple has intentionally broken iPhone web apps in the EU, blaming it on the new EU regulation, the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
🔒 PWAs (progressive web apps) were demoted to website shortcuts in iOS betas, affecting their functionality in the EU.
🔄 Apple states that complying with the DMA's requirement to allow different browser engines is too complex and not practical to implement in iOS.
🌍 EU users are now directed to access websites through bookmarks on their Home Screen instead of PWAs.
🙅 Apple has not responded to requests for comment on whether this change was intentional or a beta bug.
