The European Commission has identified Apple as violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA) by imposing illegal fees and restrictions on alternative app distribution channels. Apple has been accused of making it difficult for developers to steer customers to outside purchases without facing additional charges. As a result, Apple is mandated to allow third-party links within apps, refrain from charging external purchase fees, and remove obstacles that discourage customers from using alternative storefronts. The scrutiny reflects a broader effort by the European Commission to foster competition in the digital marketplace, which may also involve investigations into Google.
Apple's recent violations of the Digital Markets Act mandate changes to ensure developers can direct customers outside of apps without imposing illegal fees.
The European Commission's rulings against Apple highlight the need for fair app distribution and punish practices that stifle competition and consumer choice.
