Epic Games and Developers Accuse Apple of Flouting EU Digital Markets Act
• Epic Games, Spotify, and other developers wrote a letter to the European Commission claiming Apple made a "mockery" of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) with its compliance rules.
• The companies argue Apple's new terms disregard the spirit and letter of the DMA and urge the EC to take "swift, timely, and decisive action."
• They criticize Apple's new Core Technology Fee, scare screens, and lack of support for alternative app stores and sideloading.
• Apple published a whitepaper defending its DMA compliance solutions as protecting user security and privacy.
• The EC spokesperson said they will closely analyze compliance once details are known and "will not hesitate to act" once they have full DMA enforcement powers.
