    EU accuses Apple of breaking new tech rules

    The investigation found that the company's App Store violates the DMA because it denies app developers the ability to "freely steer" users to offerings outside the App Store.

    United Kingdom: The European Union (EU) has accused the tech giant Apple of breaking the historic Digital Markets Act (DMA). Apple is the first corporation to be sued under this legislation. If found guilty, Apple will face a hefty fine.

    The European Commission, the EU’s competition and technology watchdog, revealed the preliminary results of an investigation it opened against Apple in March. The investigation found that the company’s App Store violates the DMA because it denies app developers the ability to “freely steer” users to offerings outside the App Store.

    According to the commission, it has also started a second inquiry to see if Apple’s new contractual obligations for outside app developers violate the DMA.

    The fundamental technology fee, the multiple steps users must take to download and install alternate app stores on iPhones, and the prerequisites developers must meet to offer alternate app stores or distribute programs straight from the web to iPhone users are all under question.

    When Apple implemented the new costs in the EU in March, “Fortnite” creator Epic Games and others took issue. The new fees include a core technology fee for large app developers, even if they do not utilize any of Apple’s payment systems.

    Although the corporation is “confident” that its current method conforms, Apple will have time to modify its business activities under the DMA, as the commission has until March of next year to issue a final ruling.

    If found guilty of violating the DMA, Apple could be fined up to 10 percent of its annual global revenue, amounting to tens of millions of dollars.
