EU says Apple's App Store breaches new digital rules

Apple faces potential fines amounting to billions of euros following a European Union ruling on June 24, which found the company's App Store in violation of the bloc's digital competition regulations.

The European Commission's preliminary view asserts that Apple's App Store rules restrict app developers from directing consumers to alternative channels for offers and content. This decision escalates tensions between the US tech giant and Brussels amid disputes over the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA).
