Apple introduces new App Store fees in EU to avoid €500 million fine

Apple has introduced sweeping changes to its European Union App Store policies, introducing a complicated multi-tier fee system aimed at avoiding crushing daily fines that could reach €50 million under the bloc’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).

The company now allows EU developers to freely link customers to alternative payment methods outside the App Store without restrictive warning screens or mandatory text. However, these freedoms come with new costs through Apple’s revamped commission structure.
