"EU Slaps Apple with $540 Million Fine in Music Streaming Antitrust Probe"

Apple is facing a potential €500 million fine from the EU for allegedly violating antitrust laws by preventing music streaming apps from informing users about cheaper subscription options outside of the App Store. The European Commission's investigation, prompted by a complaint from Spotify, aims to address concerns about unfair competition and limited consumer choice. This marks the first time Apple may be fined for antitrust violations by the EU, following a previous €1.1 billion fine in France.
