Apple Ordered to Change App Store in Europe Again

The European Commission fined Apple €500 million in April 2025 for violating the EU Digital Markets Act on its App Store rules and ordered changes by June 22 in Europe.
The penalties followed Apple's failure to comply with anti-steering provisions that require developers to freely inform users about external payment options.
Apple's rule changes allow only a single approved external link and charge a 27% fee on purchases made outside the App Store, which the Commission said still restricts developers and users.
The Commission stated Apple will face continuing 'periodic penalty payments' if it does not meet compliance by June 22, and Apple has until July 23 to pay the fine to avoid interest.
Apple said it will appeal the ruling, criticized it as harmful to innovation and privacy, and vowed to keep engaging with the Commission on behalf of European customers.
