Apple has finally filed an appeal challenging the decision of the EU antitrust regulators to fine it for violations of the Digital Market Act
Apple has finally filed an appeal challenging the decision of the European Union antitrust regulators to fine it for violations of the Digital Market Act (DMA). In April, we reported that the EU regulators imposed a €500 million ($570 million USD) fine on Apple, concluding that its practices unfairly restricted app developers and users of its platform.
Apple of course expressed displeasure with the fine and vowed to challenge it, so this appeal is no surprise. In a statement released after filing its suit, the smartphone giant stated, “Today we filed our appeal because we believe the European Commission’s decision–and their unprecedented fine–go far beyond what the law requires.
