Apple revamps EU App Store policies to avoid fines
TL;DR Summary
Apple has introduced new tiered App Store fee structures and features in the EU to comply with the Digital Markets Act and avoid further penalties, including a basic tier with limited features at 5% commission and a full-feature tier at 13%, along with a new Core Technology Commission fee on outside purchases. These changes follow a €500 million EU fine and are part of Apple's effort to address regulatory concerns, with plans to move to a single business model in the EU by 2026.
