Apple has introduced several App Store-related commitments in an attempt to avoid being further penalized under the European Union’s Digital Markets Act.
Apple has introduced new App Store changes in the EU in an attempt to avoid being further penalized under the European Union’s Digital Markets Act . On Thursday, the company announced a new tier system for its Store Services fee that’s applied to purchases made outside apps, and it will only give developers access to the full set of App Store features if they give Apple a larger commission.
However, developers who signed on to Apple’s alternate business terms will continue to pay the Core Technology Fee , a €0.50 per download fee that applies to apps for each annual install over 1 million. The iPhone maker says that on January 1st, 2026, it’s going to move to a “single business model” for developers in the EU.
