Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Apple planned to disable Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in iOS for European users, citing EU regulations as a cause. However, these changes sparked criticism and threats of investigation by the European Commission. Apple has now reversed course, restoring PWA functionality, but states that PWAs will still need to be built on WebKit to comply with Apple's security and privacy standards.
