US EditionReport: Apple to Announce 'some' App Store Changes in the EU to Avoid Additional DMA Fines
- Apple is currently finalizing discussions with the European Commission ahead of the June 26, 2025 deadline to announce modifications to its App Store policies in the EU and prevent additional penalties under the Digital Markets Act.
- These discussions come after Apple was issued a €500 million fine in April 2025 for restricting developers from informing users about other payment methods outside its in-app system within the EU.
- Apple introduced iOS 17.4 in March to allow third-party app stores and alternative payments but faces pressure to ease anti-steering rules further under DMA requirements.
- The EU targets Apple's Core Technology Fee of €0.50 per annual install outside the App Store, and the commission may impose fines up to 5% of Apple's global turnover daily if noncompliance continues.
- The European Commission continues to review Apple's compliance and holds regulatory powers to issue escalating fines while negotiations suggest Apple might face no immediate additional penalties.
