The European Union fined Apple 500 million euros ($586 million) on Monday for breaking the bloc’s Digital Markets Act, which Apple claimed was “unprecedented.”
The company released a statement saying, “As our appeal will demonstrate, the European Commission [EC] is dictating how we operate our store and imposing business terms that are confusing for developers and detrimental for users.”
“We’ll share the facts with the Court and put this in place to avoid punitive daily fines.”
The European regulations of Apple’s App Store were recently modified, which the company claimed would comply with the DMA and prevent fines.
With its limits on the App Store, Apple “breached its anti-steering obligation” under the DMA, the EU’s executive body, which announced the fine in April.
