Apple faces potential new EU charges over App Store
Apple has until June 26, 2025, to let app developers tell users about cheaper deals outside the App Store—otherwise, it could face massive daily fines from the European Union. This move comes after Apple was fined $579 million earlier this year for similar issues, as the EU pushes for more competition and transparency in digital markets.
Apple is working on a plan to meet these rules
Apple isn't alone—other tech giants like Meta have also been hit by strict new EU regulations. Last year, Apple got a €1.8 billion fine for limiting music streaming competition. Now, Apple is working on a plan to meet these new rules, but the final call rests with the European Commission. The EU has a history of going after big tech for antitrust violations (think Google and Qualcomm), so all eyes are on how Apple responds this time.
