The European Union’s regulators has accused Apple of breaching the bloc’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) by imposing restrictive rules on its App Store marketplace, preventing software developers from directing users to alternative platforms.
According to the European Commission’s preliminary findings, Apple’s App Store rules violate the DMA’s provisions by limiting app developers’ ability to freely steer consumers to other channels for offers and content.
The commission, the EU’s executive arm, has given Apple the opportunity to respond to the findings, which will be assessed before a final decision was made by March 2025.
In addition, the commission has launched a new investigation into Apple’s compliance with the DMA, focusing on the company’s recently introduced contractual terms for app developers.
Apple Inc. said over the past several months, it “has made a number of changes to comply with the DMA in response to feedback from developers and the European Commission.”
“We are confident our plan complies with the law,” the company said.
Apple has stated that it has made changes to comply with the DMA in response to feedback from developers and the European Commission, and is confident that its plan adheres to the law.
