Strange page, it keeps repeating that there are 11 features and then lists four or five, thrice over, and all can be summarised as "device access for competitors' AI voice assistants and dependencies thereof". Then there's some FAQ about the timeline and such. At the very bottom is a link to what seems to be the legal details but ends you up on a search page. Unfolding the only result, there is a link to the 'decision text', which of course you can't just read as text but need to get as a PDF download so the lines can't be broken up and the text is super hard to read using, say, an android phone or screen reader. This format ought to die already.
Anyway, the actual decision text: https://ec.europa.eu/competition/digital_markets_act/cases/2...
Edit: reading that document, I understand now why that press release, as well as the submission above, doesn't get further than a handful noteworthy properties and that even those partially seem like dependencies of each other: that's all it is. It's all about running code on a device activated by a hotword and the access such that it can actually be used (access to the NPU, ability to run in the background, ability to start phone calls, access to sensors, ability to display things on the screen...)
