Apple's Big Fight with EU Over App Store Rules

EUMon Jul 07 2025

Apple is not happy with a huge fine from the EU. They were told to pay €500 million for not playing fair with app developers. The EU says Apple stopped developers from telling users about cheaper options outside the App Store.

Apple's Response

Apple thinks the fine is too much and doesn't agree with the rules they have to follow now. They say the new rules are confusing and not good for users or developers. They plan to fight this in court.

Expert Opinion

A tech expert says this fight was expected and will take a long time. Changing big services like the App Store is not easy, and making sure everyone follows the new rules will be even harder.

EU's Stance
