Apple is battling a $2 billion EU fine over App Store practices


Apple has reportedly filed a formal challenge against a €1.8 billion ($1.95 billion) that the European Union handed down earlier this year. The bloc had determined that Apple restricted rival music streaming apps on the App Store.

At the time, Apple pledged to appeal the decision, arguing that the EU failed to "uncover any credible evidence of consumer harm." Along with the fine, the EU instructed Apple to stop blocking rival music-streaming platforms from telling users that they could sign up for their services at a lower cost away from the App Store. That law stops defined gatekeepers — including Apple and Play Store operator Google — banning developers from telling users about cheaper ways to pay for their products outside of their app marketplaces.
