Apple and Epic Games Reach Agreement in Dispute Over App Store in Europe
On Friday, Apple made a significant shift in its stance regarding the ongoing dispute with Epic Games, allowing the gaming company to offer an alternative app store on iPhones in Europe. This decision marks a pivotal moment in the clash between the two tech giants and serves as a litmus test for the new regulations governing digital platforms within the European Union.
A spokesperson for Apple communicated to Agence France-Presse via email, stating, "We have engaged in discussions with Epic Games, and they have committed to adhering to the regulations, including those outlined in the Digital Markets Act (DMA)." The DMA sets forth guidelines aimed at promoting fair competition and preventing monopolistic practices in the digital marketplace.
