Apple Appeals ‘Unprecedented’ €500 Million EU App Store Fine

Apple Inc. appealed a €500 million ($580 million) fine from the European Union, calling the penalty “unprecedented” and the regulator’s required changes to its App Store as “unlawful.”

The European Commission announced the fine in April under its Digital Markets Act, saying that the iPhone maker ran afoul of rules related to allowing developers to steer users to make purchases outside of its store. In June, Apple changed its EU App Store policies to meet local requirements and avoid additional penalties.
