Apple Appeals $2 Billion EU Antitrust Fine Over App Store Practices

The tech giant contests the ruling that it unfairly restricted music streaming rivals like Spotify, citing lack of consumer harm.

Apple has officially filed a lawsuit to overturn the €1.8 billion fine imposed by the EU.
The penalty stems from a 2019 complaint by Spotify, alleging anti-competitive behavior by Apple.
The EU's decision also mandates that Apple allow music apps to advertise cheaper subscription options outside the App Store.
Apple argues that the ruling lacks credible evidence of consumer harm.
The case highlights ongoing scrutiny of Apple's App Store policies under new digital market regulations.
