Apple Faces Second Round of EU App Store Changes Under Antitrust Pressure

Apple has implemented a second set of App Store rule changes in the EU by June 2025, eighteen months after initial compliance with antitrust orders in January 2024. Daily fines around 50 million euros have pushed the iterative adjustments, signaling ongoing negotiation rather than final settlement. For developers, the EU now operates under its own policy rules, distinct from the rest of the world, creating real compliance complexity across the global ecosystem.
