“Apple on Monday appealed what it called an ‘unprecedented’ 500 million euro ($586 million) fine issued by the European Union for violating the bloc’s Digital Markets Act. ‘As our appeal will show, the EC [European Commission] is mandating how we run our store and forcing business terms which are confusing for developers and bad for users,’ the company said in a statement. ‘We implemented this to avoid punitive daily fines and will share the facts with the Court.’ Apple recently made changes to its App Store’s European policies that the company said would be in compliance with the DMA and would avoid the fines. The Commission, which is the executive body of the EU, announced its fine in April, saying that Apple ‘breached its anti-steering obligation’ under the DMA with restrictions on the App Store.” (07/07/25)
