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.
