Apple has until June 26th to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) or risk facing additional charges and penalties. In the past, Apple incurred a €500 million fine for breaching the DMA's anti-circumvention provisions, primarily centered on the debate over whether developers should be permitted to direct users to make purchases outside of the app. Should the proposed amendments fall short of the required standards, Apple may encounter further penalties, escalating both legal and reputational risks, and potentially impacting investor confidence as well as the European app ecosystem.
