Overview

• Apple’s July update reduced the install flow from 15 steps to 6, removed prior warning screens, and fixed a settings dead end that stalled installations.
• Epic reports the Epic Games Store install success on iOS now approaches rates seen on Windows and macOS.
• The European Commission had criticized Apple’s earlier process as overly burdensome and fined the company about $568 million for DMA noncompliance earlier this year.
• Epic continues to argue Apple’s Core Technology Fee, notarization and approval rules, and other policies remain anti‑competitive under the DMA.
• Epic also faults Google for a 12‑step Android process it says misleads users and derails more than half of Epic Games Store installation attempts.
