Apple is appealing the European Commission’s €500 million fine for breaching anti-steering obligations under the EU Digital Markets Act. The EC accused Apple of preventing alternative app stores and limiting developers from promoting discounts outside its platform. Apple complied with new app store rules to avoid further fines, introducing varying commission rates and permitting promotions for alternative purchasing methods. However, Apple argues that the changes are confusing for developers and detrimental to users, and it plans to challenge the EC's decisions in court.
"Today we filed our appeal because we believe the European Commission's decision - and their unprecedented fine - go far beyond what the law requires."
"As our appeal will show, the EC is mandating how we run our store and forcing business terms which are confusing for developers and bad for users."
