Apple appeals fine, says EU has 'gone beyond' the law
Briefly

Apple's new tiered service scheme in Europe, required by regulators, permits developers to opt out of specific App Store services. This scheme followed an agreed Store Services Fee for services provided to developers. Despite backlash from developers about the optional service tiers, Apple's compliance reflects the tense relationship with regulators, who seem to make decisions that occasionally lack clarity and consistency. Additionally, regulators have redefined the concept of "steering," insisting on allowing links to third-party app stores, which Apple contests as exceeding legal requirements.
