The European Union on Monday accused Apple of violating its Digital Markets Act , making the tech giant the first charged under the landmark legislation that could result in a steep fine for the company.
Apple rolled out the new fees in March in the EU, which include the core technology fee for major app developers even if they do not use any of its payment services, prompting criticism from "Fortnite" creator Epic Games and others. "Apple's new slogan should be 'act different.' Today we take further steps to ensure Apple complies with the DMA rules," Thierry Breton, commissioner for the internal market, said in a statement.
Throughout the past several months, Apple has made a number of changes to comply with the DMA in response to feedback from developers and the European Commission," an Apple spokesperson said in a statement to FOX Business. "We are confident our plan complies with the law, and estimate more than 99% of developers would pay the same or less in fees to Apple under the new business terms we created.
