Apple Reverses Course, Allows Epic's Fortnite Back on iPhones in Europe After EU Pushback
• Apple reversed decision to ban Epic Games from launching its own app store on iOS in Europe, just after EU officials said they were investigating the matter.
• This allows Epic to bring "Fortnite" back to iPhones in Europe after 2 years; it highlights impact of new EU Digital Markets Act.
• Apple said it reached decision after conversations with Epic in which Epic agreed to follow new EU-focused app store policies.
• Epic had accused Apple of yanking developer account approval because of Epic's criticism and previous violations of terms to highlight anticompetitive behavior.
• Apple appears to have relented in face of EU pushback - paving way for Epic and "Fortnite" to again be available on iOS in Europe.
