Dutch court upholds ruling against Apple

Technology

A Dutch court just confirmed that Apple misused its power in the app market, especially when it comes to dating apps.
The issue? Apple made developers use its own payment system and blocked them from even mentioning other ways to pay—something the court says isn't fair.

Apple says changes could hurt user privacy

Apple got hit with a €50 million fine back in 2021 for not updating its App Store policies, and now they're planning to appeal this latest decision.
Apple says the changes could hurt user privacy and how their tech works for developers.
The ruling also calls out Apple's steep commission fees (up to 30%), which many smaller app makers say makes it tough to compete.
