Apple reportedly facing first-ever EU fine over App Store rules

Sources tell the outlet that the Commission is getting ready to levy the penalty after it found that Apple’s “anti-steering” practices harmed competition on the App Store.

Apple CEO Tim Cook even allegedly called former President Donald Trump to complain about the fines his company has accrued.
