flag 20 groups urge EU to enforce DMA against Apple over App Store fees and lack of transparency.

flag A coalition of 20 app developers and consumer groups is urging EU regulators to enforce the Digital Markets Act against Apple, arguing that the company’s App Store fee structure—charging 13% to 20% on purchases and 5% to 15% on external transactions—violates the law by imposing costs on alternative payment methods. flag Despite a prior €500 million fine and a U.S. court decision allowing American developers to bypass such fees, European developers say they face unfair disadvantages. flag The coalition, including Deezer and Proton, claims Apple’s lack of transparency around upcoming policy changes in January 2026 deepens frustration and undermines innovation and consumer choice, calling for strict enforcement and possible referral to the European Court of Justice.
