Edge is already available on iPad in all countries.

And nothing is preventing them adding vertically grouped tabs/workspaces.

What does that have to do with the browser's engine?

Unfortunately, from what I can tell, Apple is only being forced to open up iOS (iPhone), not any other platforms like iPadOS, and they’re not doing a jot more than they have to here.

Based on what? Because so far Apple has tried to argue to the EU that Safari on macOS is different from Safari on iOS, which in turn is different from Safari on iPadOS. End result? EU didn't buy it.

>Citing six different issues with Apple's claims, the commission concluded: "Safari qualifies as a single web browser, irrespective of the device through which that service is accessed."

I don’t remember where I read it, admittedly, but apparently the iPad didn’t cross the market share thresholds or something like that; would be happy to be wrong.

Suppose we’ll see in due course whether the European Commission takes them to task on it…

IpadOS in it self isn't impacted by DMA.
