Not quite. In the non-Web (aka. "native") app case on iOS, an app developer can license non-Apple DRM such as Adobe Access (http://www.adobe.com/support/adobeaccess/pdfs/client/ios_readme.pdf) or Microsoft PlayReady (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2013/sep13/09-13playreadypr.aspx). Does anyone seriously expect the only Web engine that's allowed on iOS to support non-Apple DRM via EME? -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@hsivonen.fi https://hsivonen.fi/
