Apple's WebKit: A Deep Dive into Participation in Web Standards

2025-09-23

This article presents a deep dive into Apple's participation in Web standards, using data and charts to illustrate Apple's lagging adoption and lack of collaboration on crucial Web APIs like Web MIDI, Web USB, and Web Bluetooth. The author argues that Apple frequently cites 'privacy and security' concerns to reject or delay these features, yet provides little evidence to support these claims. Instead, data suggests Apple primarily plays catch-up with other browsers, rather than actively participating in co-design. The piece challenges Apple's engagement in Web standards and hints that its actions may be tied to protecting its App Store's business interests.

Apple's Anti-Competitive Practices Are Killing the Future of Web Standards

2025-09-03

This article argues that Apple, through its control over iOS, has suppressed browser choice and undermined the openness and competitiveness of web standards. Apple leverages its monopoly on high-income users to force developers to rely on its App Store and prevents competition from standards-based platforms by limiting browser functionality. The author contends that Apple's actions violate the "voluntary adoption" principle of web standards, posing a serious threat to the future of the internet, and calls on internet standards organizations to take action to preserve an open and competitive web ecosystem.
