  • Apple's Core Technology Fee at the center of EU's first DMA violation investigation

    ppochppoch
    From my own standpoint of view, here EU is trying to help small developers, not users, to help grow their own app industry. Using Apple’s worldwide app Store as a free platform for EU developers is an invaluable sales channel for them. But wait, get all that for free is not fair for any company around the world. It would be an under-covered subsidy from EU to developers using Apple’s resources, technology and workers.

    Clearly abandon EU is not an option, nor EU wants that, I believe. It would be unfair in any ways and EU shooting themselves.

    What means: “ Under the scope of the DMA, the region has the right to daily fine the company a percentage of its average global income, which works out to around $1 billion per day.” ?

    Net Income for the six months ended March 30, 2024, was $57,552 millions. That would be $315 million per day. $1 billion per day would be more than three times that. The fine, it says, would be a percentage of the (net) income, so it can’t be $1 billion per day it should be a much smaller amount. And of course, over global income is insane. Why have to pay a fine over global income?, how are They calculating the impact on EU app developers of Apple’s App Store rules? At most it would be framed to EU countries only, not all the planet!
