Apple Inc. has been warned by the European Union to open up its highly guarded iPhone and iPad operating systems to rival technologies, or eventually risk significant fines under its flagship digital antitrust rules.

EU watchdogs announced under the bloc’s Digital Markets Act that Apple must step into line with strict new laws on making operating systems fully functional with other technologies. The Brussels-based authority gave the company six months to comply or face the threat of future penalties.

Apple shares rose 1.6% to $224.25 in premarket trading of 164,801 shares. The EU announcement confirms as reported by Bloomberg.
