Apple is the first company to be charged with violating the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) rules. The European Commission accuses Apple of undermining competition in the digital market by restricting alternative iOS app stores.
The violations include steering rules that prevent app developers from advertising different prices or alternative distribution channels within their apps. Apple is also criticized for requiring developers to report transactions and pay a commission, even if transactions are handled on their websites.
The EU Commission's investigation into Apple's App Store rules could lead to significant penalties and impact a profitable part of Apple's business. Other tech giants like Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft are also under investigation for similar violations.
