After imposing a Million 500 million fine against Apple in April, the European Commission (EC) says Apple is still out of compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and is less than 30 days to comply. The DMA requires that Apple Developers allow their customers to be aware of the sale or other offers out of the App Store.
In a 68-page document issued by the EC’s April decision today, the Commission found that Apple’s policies were clearly opposed to the competitive, saying the company added unnecessary barriers-called “anti-steering” rules-to complete the foreign transaction.
The anti -steering strategy with the EC was such an anti -strategy that was Apple’s “frightened sheets”. When users click to visit the external payment link, a message appears, reading “You are going to an external website. Apple is not responsible for the privacy or security of purchases made on the web.” If the company does not comply with its policies within the European Union, Apple may face up to five percent of the daily revenue from time to time.
In a statement 9TO5MAC“There is nothing in the 70 -page decision issued today, which justifies the European Commission’s targets against Apple, which threatens the privacy and security of our consumers and forces us to free our technology,” Apple expressed its disappointment at the newly released details. Later in a statement, the company called the decision “bad for innovation, bad for competition, bad for our products, and bad for consumers.”
Apple will appeal the decision in the EC decision before the June 22 deadline.
