Apple challenges EU rules on App stores and iOS as one service

Apple Challenges EU’s Tech Rules on App Stores Classification

In a recent move, Apple has lodged a challenge against the European Union’s tech rules, particularly contesting the classification of its five App Stores as a single core platform service under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). According to a Reuters report, Apple argues that EU regulators have misunderstood and misapplied the legislation, which became effective in May 2022. The company claims that the European Commission made “material factual errors” by considering the five App Stores as a single core platform service.
