Apple fined €1.8bn for breaking EU law over music streaming
iPhone maker hit by first Brussels penalty as competition watchdogs step up scrutiny of Big Tech
Hasnain says:
“EU regulators found that Apple’s actions had resulted in users paying “significantly higher prices” for music streaming services.
The iPhone maker charges a 30 per cent fee for all sales through the App Store, a cost the commission said had been passed on to consumers in the form of higher subscription charges.
As part of Monday’s ruling, the commission also banned Apple from blocking apps from offering their services outside the iPhone maker’s iOS software.”
