The European Commission (EC) has fined Apple €500 million for violations of the EU’s Digital Markets Act.
Apple fails to comply with the DMA's requirement to allow app developers to inform customers of alternative offers and make purchases outside the App Store.
The EC has ordered Apple to remove the restrictions and refrain from perpetuating non-compliant conduct in the future.
Apple plans to appeal the decision, criticizing the EC for unfairly targeting the company and forcing it to give away its technology for free.
