Apple hits back against ‘unprecedented’ 500 meter EU

Apple is appealing against € 500m (£ 430m; $ 586m) assigned by the European Union regulators on its app store on its app store.

The European Commission said in April that the tech veteran had violated their laws by restricting APP developers in the ability to inform the app developers or the ability to inform customers of marketplace, which could be found outside their own and could take them to shopping.

Apple on Monday called the Commission’s fine “unprecedented”, saying that this decision and its fine “needs law”.

A spokesperson of the commission told the BBC that he focused on filing Apple and would protect his decisions in the court.
