Apple has updated its App Store fees in the EU to comply with the Digital Markets Act and resolve its dispute with the European Commission. The company reduced its Core Technology Fee and simplified pricing for apps distributed through alternative marketplaces or the web. Apple stated these changes were made in close collaboration with the Commission to address disagreements over business terms and distribution. The European Commission confirmed its approval of these modifications, noting the ongoing dialogue following prior non-compliance decisions. The Commission will now monitor the effective implementation of these new terms, which take effect on October 1st. These changes aim to ensure users have full and effective choice of alternative app distribution channels as mandated by the DMA. However, Apple's legal opponent, Epic Games, criticized the new structure, calling them "junk fees" and claiming they do not comply with the DMA. Epic argues that Apple's terms violate the law's requirements for free link-outs for purchases and effective use of competing stores. Under the new terms, Epic Games would face a five percent Core Technology Commission on EU purchases made through its store on Apple devices. Additionally, a fifteen percent fee would apply to apps linking to external purchase options. While some programs and small marketplaces qualify for reduced or waived fees, Epic Games does not meet these criteria.
