⚡️📶🇪🇺 NEW - Apple Watch to lose Wi-Fi synchronization with iPhone in Europe

Apple will disable automatic Wi-Fi network synchronization between the iPhone and Apple Watch in Europe, starting with the iOS 26.2 update (December).

The reason: the European Commission required Apple to open this synchronization link to third-party accessories. Apple refused for security and privacy reasons.

Therefore, to comply with the DMA, Apple will disable the feature for everyone in Europe.

Sick pedophile. People will learn the truth about you eventually.

Sounds like apple designed a horribly insecure protocol for syncing and doesn’t want to have to expose how bad it is.

Apple is just such a shit show. Just as almost all large companies.

What an ugly digital world people have allowed to be created.

Instead of sticking to freedom preserving options, most people choose the shiny products/services that come with shackles.
