Meta and Microsoft Challenge Apple's EU App Store Reforms

Tech giants call for the EU to reject Apple's proposed changes, arguing they fall short of fostering genuine competition.

Meta and Microsoft criticize Apple's new App Store terms as insufficient under the EU's Digital Markets Act, calling for more significant changes.
Apple's proposed changes include allowing alternative app stores and payment systems but introduce new fees, such as a 50-cent 'core technology fee' per download for popular apps.
Critics argue the new terms could discourage the creation of alternative app stores and maintain Apple's market dominance.
The EU is considering strong action against Apple, including potential fines, if its new terms are deemed non-compliant with the Digital Markets Act.
Developers and companies like Meta and Microsoft are urging the EU to reject Apple's proposal, fearing it negates the intent of the regulation.
