币界网报道:Apple has adjusted its App Store policies in the European Union to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and avoid a potential €500 million fine. The tech giant will now allow developers to distribute iOS apps through alternative marketplaces and use third-party payment systems, though it will still charge a "Core Technology Fee" for installations exceeding 1 million. This move comes after the EU accused Apple of stifling competition by restricting app distribution and payment options. While Apple claims the changes promote fairness, critics argue the new fees could discourage developers from bypassing the App Store. The European Commission is reviewing the updates to ensure full DMA compliance. Analysts note this marks a significant shift in Apple's historically closed ecosystem, potentially setting a precedent for other regions. The company faces ongoing scrutiny over its App Store practices globally, with similar antitrust concerns raised in the U.S. and Asia. Developers now have until March 7 to decide whether to adopt the new EU terms or remain under existing App Store rules.
