EU Antitrust Chief Raises Concerns Over Apple's Fees and Safety Warnings

The EU's antitrust chief, Margrethe Vestager, hinted at potential trouble for Apple over its Core Technology Fee and security warnings about alternative app stores. The Core Technology Fee, which applies to developers opting out of the App Store, has raised concerns about its impact on indie developers. Additionally, Apple's use of security warnings to discourage users from buying apps from third-party stores was criticized as "unwise" by Vestager, who warned against disparaging rivals. The EU will be investigating these issues as part of its scrutiny of the company's behavior.

Apple addressed concerns about the Core Technology Fee potentially bankrupting small developers with viral free apps, acknowledging the issue and stating that they are working on a solution. The company's response came during a workshop event in the European Union, where Apple explained that the new fee structure mandated by the Digital Markets Act requires them to price each component separately. While they haven't yet figured out a solution, they emphasized their commitment to encouraging and supporting individual developers.

"Apple's Response to EU's Digital Markets Act and Core Technology Fee Impact on App Developers"

Apple is working on a solution for the 0.50 euro Core Technology Fee that apps distributed using the new EU App Store business terms must pay, which has raised concerns about the potential financial burden on developers whose apps unexpectedly go viral. Apple's VP of regulatory law Kyle Andeers met with developers to address these concerns, particularly in light of a situation where a young developer's app incurred millions in fees. While Apple is still working on a solution, it aims to prevent young app makers and their families from feeling scared to release an app. The Core Technology Fee applies to all apps created under Apple's new business terms in the EU, and developers can continue to use Apple's current App Store rules instead of adopting the new terms.
