Apple appeals EU's 500M fine over App Store payment restraints | TechCrunch
Briefly

Apple has filed an appeal against the EU's decision to impose a €500 million fine for failing to comply with Digital Markets Act rules. The European Commission claimed that Apple did not allow developers to accept payments outside its App Store. In response, Apple updated its fee structure for app distribution within the EU in an effort to avoid additional fines. The company argues that the European Commission's mandate fundamentally alters how it operates its store, leading to confusion for developers and a negative impact on users.
Apple stated, "We believe the European Commission's decision - and their unprecedented fine - go far beyond what the law requires. As our appeal will show, the EC is mandating how we run our store and forcing business terms which are confusing for developers and bad for users."
In April, the European Commission fined Apple €500 million for not complying with rules that require companies to allow developers to accept payments outside the App Store.
