Apple gives EU users App Store options in attempt to avoid massive fines
Briefly

Apple is modifying its App Store policies to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act, allowing developers to offer iOS apps outside its App Store. This change comes after being fined €500 million for non-compliance and amid ongoing negotiations with the European Commission. Despite these adjustments, Apple plans to appeal additional requirements imposed by the commission, which asserts it will assess Apple's new measures for compliance. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between EU regulations and Big Tech companies, particularly in a context of US-EU trade negotiations.
Apple announced the measures on Thursday, the deadline for the company to comply with the bloc's rules in order to avoid new levies.
The European Commission is requiring Apple to make a series of additional changes to the App Store. We disagree with this outcome and plan to appeal.
