08:38 AM EST, 12/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Switzerland's competition watchdog on Wednesday launched a preliminary investigation into Apple (APC.F) over third-party access to contactless payment technologies on iOS devices, according to a Thursday release. The Secretariat of the Swiss Competition Commission's probe will center on whether the terms and conditions for granting access provided by the tech giant complied with the country's antitrust law. The regulator noted that the US tech giant has provided local third-party app providers with access to its NFC & SE platform since late 2024. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
