Russia’s competition watchdog is probing Apple over allegations that it’s abusing its dominance over iOS apps. The complaint came from cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab.
The Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia (FAS) is looking into why Kaspersky’s Safe Kids parent control app wasn’t updated — causing a major loss in its functionality — while Apple‘s own Screen Time was.
