Apple hits back against 'unprecedented' 500m EU fine
Briefly

Apple is appealing a 500m fine imposed by EU regulators for alleged anti-competitive behavior concerning its App Store.

Apple argues the Commission's requirements for concessions complicate business operations and impact user experience negatively. Analysts note that the appeal is expected and reflects broader implications for the tech industry, emphasizing the complexity and lengthy nature of regulatory enforcement in digital markets.
