Initially, the tech company was fined 500 million euros (approx. ₹4900 cr) for violations of the DMA.
It was subsequently given a 60-day deadline to comply with the legislation. This deadline expires on Thursday, 26 June, but no changes have been announced to Apple’s App Store guidelines yet.
The initial 500 million-euro fine was based on App Store’s anti-steering policies that prohibit developers from communicating with users about payment options outside of the App Store.
While developers are permitted to show users a single link to their website, Apple reportedly takes a 27 per cent commission on any payments made through the provided link.
The European Commission has suggested that Apple might not face any additional penalties, as the two sides have been in discussions about rectifying the situation.
These discussions also involved the Core Technology Fee (CTF) put in place by Apple, where app developers pay €0.50 for each first annual install after one million downloads, according to sources .
