Apple Updated EU App Store Policy After Commission Enquiry
Apple redirected the team to change its policy of the Europe-based App Store due to the probe of the European Commission which enabled the developers to communicate with their customers outside its App Store.
The commission changed the iPhone maker when it found it breaching the bloc's tech rules.
The problem occurred between the global tech company Apple and the European Union Commission in which the commission said that under the terms of the business world, Apple allows the developers to insert a link that can redirect the audience to the website where the customer can conclude a contract.
In the response, Apple said that the developers are free to communicate and promote offers that are available anywhere, not just on their website from the app that they created or from any other source.
Highlights
- Apple changes EU App Store Policy
- The iPhone company Apple charges three types of fee
- The order may result in paying a fine worth 10% of an annual turnover
"We will assess Apple's eventual changes to the compliance measures, also taking into account any feedback from the market, notably developers," The EU Commission said after the completion of the hearing in the court.
As per the new rules and regulations the company Apple will pay the fine and also reduce the amount of fee after reducing the commission whatever purchased through the App Store. The loggerhead of Apple, Spotify said "At first glance, by demanding as much as a 25% fee for basic communication with users, Apple once again blatantly disregards the fundamental requirements of the Digital Markets Act".
