Apple Appeals EU DMA Fine Over App Store Rules

News summary

Apple has appealed a €500 million fine from the European Commission for violating the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which targets anti-competitive behavior among major tech firms. The Commission fined Apple for restricting app developers from steering users to cheaper alternatives outside the App Store, a practice banned by the DMA. Apple claims the fine is unprecedented and argues that the EU unlawfully expanded the definition of 'steering' to include in-app promotions and alternative payments, altering the law's intent. The company also objects to the Commission's mandated business terms and tiered service structure, calling them confusing and harmful. Apple has revised its EU App Store policies to allow external payment links, but maintains the demands exceed legal requirements. The case's outcome is expected to set a major precedent for DMA enforcement and regulation of big tech in Europe.
