  • The European Commission's investigation is the first under the new Digital Markets Act.
  • Potential fines for Apple could be as high as 5% of its daily global turnover, over $1 billion per day.
  • Apple has made some changes to its policies but the EU finds them insufficient.
  • Meta is also under scrutiny for its ad-free subscription model in the EU.
