Apple set to stave off daily fines, EU to accept App Store changes: Reuters
EUROPEAN UNION, JUL 22 – Apple's updated App Store rules aim to comply with the EU Digital Markets Act and avoid daily fines of up to €50 million, pending European Commission approval.
- On July 22, 2025, Reuters reported that EU approval of Apple's App Store changes will likely prevent daily fines, according to sources familiar with the matter.
- Last month, Apple announced changes to comply with the Digital Markets Act, following a 500 million euro fine in April and a 60-day compliance deadline.
- Apple has introduced two fee tiers, allowing developers external payment options and unifying its fee model by January 1, 2026.
- All options remain on the table, the EU watchdog said, while Apple said `the Commission's rulings go far beyond what the law requires` as it continues its appeal.
- Developers remain wary as the European Commission's ongoing regulatory review implies further challenges ahead, with an announcement in the coming weeks potentially shaping future compliance.
