The developers said App Store commissions are unfairly high and that Apple failed to honor a commitment.

Apple’s new subscription Bundles can group up to 10 apps, extending beyond a single developer’s apps.

The total include US$1.1 trillion in physical goods and services, US$149 billion in digital goods and services.

Epic added external payments to Fortnite in 2020 to bypass Apple’s 27% App Store fee.

The piece framed the fee cut as a win for regulators and noted Apple has made other concessions.

The fine imposed on Apple is part of ongoing scrutiny regarding its App Store practices in Europe.

The legal battle between Apple and Epic Games has been ongoing for over five years.

Google’s August policy changes are still seen as insufficient, with the EU using Apple’s recent App Store overhaul as a benchmark for compliance.

Apple said it will appeal the decision, arguing the app economy remains competitive.

The complaint, led by lawyer Wang Qiongfei, claims Apple holds a monopoly over iOS app distribution in China, while allowing alternative app stores.
