Apple insists to EU antitrust regulators that it runs five App Stores, not one


Apple's November challenge against the EU's Digital Markets Act says the European Commission got it wrong by saying there's only one App Store, when there's actually five.

The Digital Markets Act is the European Union's attempt to level the playing field and increase competition by reducing the dominance of major tech firms. By insisting each App Store is separate, it would give Apple a greater chance to reduce the user counts for each and to have more of its storefront empire free of DMA intervention. In November, it attempted to tell the EU that it has three separate browsers named Safari, though it found more solid ground in declaring it ran five distinct operating systems.
