A European court rejected Apple's appeal against the EU's designation of the company as a 'gatekeeper' under the Digital Markets Act, according to reports. The ruling means Apple must comply with stricter regulations regarding app store practices and interoperability.
The development marks a significant legal setback for Apple in its challenge to the EU's Digital Markets Act. The court's decision upholds the European Commission's classification of Apple as a 'gatekeeper,' subjecting the company to stricter rules on app store management, interoperability, and user choice. Apple had argued that the designation was unwarranted, but the court sided with regulators. The ruling could have broader implications for other tech giants facing similar designations.
