Apple is currently engaged in intensive negotiations with the European Union (EU) regarding allegations levied under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in an effort to avert significant financial penalties. The EU has accused Apple of failing to facilitate third-party payment channels within its apps, and has issued a demand for Apple to rectify this situation by June 26, or face daily fines amounting to 5% of its global revenue. As a potential concession, Apple is considering adjustments to controversial policies, including the "core technology fee." The EU will assess Apple's proposals before deciding whether to impose penalties.
