The European Commission on Tuesday welcomed changes made by Apple to its rules for app developers to address charges of breaking the bloc's competition rules -- and avert the risk of new fines.The commission slapped Apple with a fine of 500 million euros ($586 million) in April 2025 after concluding it violated EU rules by preventing developers from steering customers outside its App Store to access cheaper deals.
An EU statement said Apple has committed to offer "revised" terms to developers for both the iPhone and iPad, namely letting them choose between the App Store, third-party app stores or the web as distribution channels.
