LONDON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Apple ( AAPL ) has told

Britain's competition regulator that some of the remedy options

proposed by the watchdog to address concerns in the mobile

browser market would impact the iPhone maker's incentive to

innovate.

The responses from Apple ( AAPL ) and Google to the regulator's

investigation in the supply of mobile browsers and browser

engines and the distribution of cloud gaming services through

app stores on mobile devices in the country were published on

the government website on Wednesday.

With respect to remedy options on providing feature access,

Apple ( AAPL ) said it would "not be appropriate" to mandate that access

to future WebKit or that iOS features in use by Safari be

provided free of charge, adding that developing features is a

time and resource-intensive process.

"Apple ( AAPL ) cannot recoup a reasonable amount of those expenses

... to do so would have a chilling impact on Apple's ( AAPL ) incentives

to innovate and would lead to free-riding and underinvestment on

the part of third parties."
