Apple Prepares for App Store Changes Under EU's Digital Markets Act

The tech giant faces developer backlash and potential antitrust concerns as it adapts to new EU regulations.

  • Apple is set to implement changes to the App Store in response to the EU's Digital Markets Act, allowing third-party app stores and sideloading of apps.
  • Developers express concerns over new fees and restrictions, with some calling the changes unfair and a potential increase in costs.
  • A class action lawsuit in the US could expand to raise antitrust concerns, mirroring the EU's Digital Markets Act.
  • Apple argues that the changes may compromise user security, but insists on implementing safeguards to protect consumers.
  • Despite concerns, analysts believe the Digital Markets Act will not significantly impact Apple's financials.
