Apple appeals EU’s €500M fine over App Store payment restraints


Apple has filed appealed the EU's decision to fine the company €500 million (about $580 million) for not complying with competition rules.

Apple on Monday filed an appeal against the EU’s decision to fine the company €500 million (about $580 million) for not complying with rules that mandate companies to let developers steer users outside the App Store for making purchases, according to multiplereports. The European Commission issued the fine in April, saying that Apple failed to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) rules to allow developers to accept payments for their apps outside Apple’s ecosystem. 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,” Bloomberg cited Apple as saying in a statement.
