US EditionApple close to settling with the EU over Digital Markets Act – report
- Apple and Meta are reportedly nearing an agreement with EU regulators to resolve investigations related to alleged violations of digital competition rules, following joint fines totaling €700 million imposed in April 2025.
- These cases arose from the enforcement of the Digital Markets Act, which designates companies like Apple as gatekeepers to ensure fair competition and prohibit self-preferencing.
- In June 2025, Apple announced that, within the EU, developers would be permitted to inform users about other payment methods and make their iOS apps available through third-party marketplaces.
- Officials said daily fines could reach up to 5% of global revenue if Apple and Meta fail to meet legal obligations, and Apple called the penalty 'far beyond what the law requires.'
- A settlement is expected to help both companies avoid further financial penalties and shape future App Store operations in Europe.
