According to reports, Apple will challenge the Digital Markets Act in an EU court

According to Bloomberg News on Friday, which cited people with knowledge of the situation, Apple plans to contest the European Union’s decision to include the App Store in its new digital antitrust list.

According to the report, the appeal from the iPhone maker is still in draft form and may change before the deadline of November 16 for submitting objections to the EU’s General Court. The EU declined to comment, and Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters. The Digital Markets Act (DMA), which went into effect for the majority of businesses in May, is a stringent piece of law designed to reduce the market power of leading technology corporations and facilitate consumers’ ability to switch between rival services.

22 services of significant digital companies were recently named by the EU Commission as “gatekeepers” of online services, meaning that they had to cooperate with competitors’ messaging apps and allow customers to choose which apps to pre-install on their devices.

These services include the marketplace on Amazon.com, Bytedance’s TikTok, Facebook by Meta Platforms, Apple’s Safari, Google Search by Alphabet, and Amazon.com. The two regulations are anticipated to bring about significant changes at the platforms that fall under their jurisdiction, together with the Digital Services Act, which establishes guidelines for user-targeting, data practices, and data sharing with the regulators.

Apple will still have to follow the regulations as of March, even with the possible appeal. In a filing this month, Apple stated that it anticipates altering the App Store in response to the new regulations from the bloc.
