US EditionApple Appeals ‘Unprecedented’ €500 Million EU App Store Fine
- Apple has submitted an appeal against the European Commission’s 500 million euro penalty imposed in April 2025 for breaching the Digital Markets Act.
- The fine followed the EU's mandate that Apple change its App Store rules on steering, which Apple says exceeds the law and mandates how the store is run.
- In late June, Apple updated its App Store policies to meet regulatory requirements, enabling developers in the EU to direct users to payment options outside the App Store and introducing a revised fee structure with two distinct tiers.
- The new fee system caps commissions at 20 percent, down from 30, with tiers including a 5 percent fee for limited services and 13 percent reduced to 10 percent for small developers.
- Apple contends that the EU has overstretched the legal boundaries concerning anti-steering rules, levied an unparalleled fine, and intends to argue in court that these actions negatively impact both developers and users.
