Apple and Google face more UK antitrust scrutiny over mobile ecosystems
LONDON (Reuters) -Britain's competition regulator said it plans to designate Apple and Google with so-called strategic market status for their role in mobile ecosystems, as it steps up scrutiny of what it has described as their duopoly. The plans announced on Wednesday follows findings by an inquiry group at Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) that a number of markets relating to mobile internet browsers were not working well for consumers or businesses. Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome dominate the mobile browser market on iPhones and Android devices, respectively. A strategic market status (SMS) designation allows the CMA to impose interventions on a firm, such as requiring it to adhere to specific behaviour so as not to undermine fair competition. In Apple and Google's cases, they could be forced to offer more features and give users the option actively to choose their preferred mobile browser, if recommendations from the CMA's inquiry group are accepted. Both Apple and Google pushed back against the CMA's proposals, with Google calling the step "disappointing and unwarranted." "It is ... crucial that any new regulation is evidence-based, proportionate and does not become a roadblock to growth in the UK," Google's senior director for competition, Oliver Bethell, said. Apple said separately it was concerned that the new rules being considered would undermine the privacy and security protections expected by its users.

Bank of America raises price on Amazon ahead of earnings
Bank of America is getting bullish on Amazon ahead of the e-commerce giant's earnings release, saying the company is getting ready to unlock its full artificial intelligence potential in the back half of the year. Analyst Justin Post reiterated his buy rating on Amazon and lifted his price target by $17 to $265. That suggests shares could gain 16.5% from their previous close. Amazon, which is set to report financial results on July 31, has seen shares rise 3.7% year to date. Post hiked his estimates for strong second-quarter retail data and Anthropic AI growth, and said his estimates for the quarter remain above the Street given strong e-commerce data, longer Prime DAy sales and currency tailwinds. Heading into the second half of the year, the analyst expects strong AI demand and Amazon Web Services capacity growth to be a key stock driver. To be sure, he anticipates AWS growth in the second quarter to reflect a slight deceleration from the first. "Amazon's YTD commentary on AWS capacity constraints, plus recent competitor Cloud revenue acceleration has likely elevated Street focus on AWS," Post wrote in a Wednesday note to clients. "We think 2Q Retail is setting up for a solid quarter, plus a strong 1Q for AWS backlog and accelerating quarterly AWS capex spending should drive accelerating 2H AWS growth." "We think the most important commentary on the call will be 2H outlook for AWS growth (if provided), investors could become impatient on returns for ramping quarterly AWS capex spend given competitor acceleration," Post added. Looking ahead, the analyst said this year's longer Prime Day event and consumer resilience could drive a strong third-quarter outlook. Tariff uncertainty remains a key risk for the stock, he said. Amazon previously called out "tariffs and trade policies" and "recessionary fears" among several factors that could make its guidance subject to change. The tech giant topped earnings and revenue expectations for the first quarter, but had given light guidance for the second.

UK ramps up scrutiny of Apple and Google in push for mobile services changes
Britain's competition regulators on Wednesday took aim at the mobile ecosystems of Apple and Google, pushing the two companies to make changes to areas like their app stores. On Wednesday, the Competition and Markets Authority proposed designating the U.S. tech giants as having a "strategic market status" or SMS, after opening an investigation into the matter in January. This designation is given to a large company that has "substantial and entrenched market power" and a "position of strategic significance" with respect to a digital activity in the U.K. The CMA can force firms that are branded as having SMS to change or stop specific behaviors or practices in order to address competition concerns. Britain's regulator focused on investigating Apple and Google's mobile operating systems, app store and browser. One aspect of the investigation looked at whether there are barriers that may prevent other competitors from offering rival products and services on the U.S. tech giants' mobile platforms. Another part of the probe examined whether Apple and Google are using their position in operating systems, app distribution or browsers to favor its own apps and services. And the final aspect of the investigation studied whether Apple and Google require developers to sign up to "unfair terms and conditions" in order to distribute their apps via the respective app stores. Google's Android operating system commands just over 61% market share in the U.K., while Apple's iOS has just over a 38%, according to Kantar data. Google runs the Google Play store and Chrome browser, and Apple has its App Store and Safari browser. Apple and Google's regulatory problems on the continent of Europe continue to deepen. In April, European Union regulators hit Apple with a 500 million euro ($587 million) fine for breaching the Digital Markets Act (DMA) — a landmark law aimed at tackling tech competition issues. Apple has been forced to make a number of changes to the way it operates in the EU this year. These include allowing developers to tell their users about cheaper alternatives and bypass Apple's in-app payment system. However, some of the changes have yet to satisfy the EU regulators. Apple in June revealed a complex system of App Store fees in a bid to comply with the DMA and avoid the 500 million euro fine. Apple plans to appeal the fine. Apple has long argued that forced regulator-led changes to its operations could lead to privacy and security issues for users and confusing business terms for developers In March, Google parent Alphabet meanwhile was accused by the EU of failing to comply with the DMA. The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, said Google is treating its own search services more favorably than those of rivals. The Commission added that Google's app store is preventing developers from steering consumer to other channels for better offers. The search giant is also looking to fight a 4.1 billion euro fine that has stemmed from an antitrust case dating back to 2018.
