The company is accused of violating the 2022 Digital Markets Act because of alleged restrictions it imposes regarding the App Store.

European Union regulators on Monday leveled their first charges under the bloc's new digital competition rulebook, accusing Apple of preventing app makers from pointing users to cheaper options outside its App Store.

Apple has been facing pressure on both sides of the Atlantic to tear down some of the competitive barriers around its lucrative iPhone franchise. The commission, the bloc's executive arm, said App Store rules"prevent app developers from freely steering consumers to alternative channels for offers and content."

But the European commission is keeping the pressure on Apple, simultaneously opening a new investigation into contractual terms that it's offering app developers.
