"Apple's App Store Policy Sparks Outrage and Legal Battles"

Apple's recent App Store policy changes, which require a 27 percent commission for purchases made through alternative payment methods, have drawn criticism from major opponents including Spotify, Epic Games, and the Coalition for App Fairness. Critics argue that the move protects Apple's profits and undermines competition, with Spotify calling on the European Commission to prevent similar changes in the EU. Similar policies in the Netherlands and South Korea have also faced regulatory pushback, with Apple being fined in the Netherlands for non-compliance.
