Antitrust authorities in the European bloc have filed charges that could bring multi-billion dollar fines. The new case comes on the verge of huge trial between Epic Games and Apple.

The European Commission has announced it will be pursuing Apple in an antitrust case that accuses the company of distorting the music streaming market through its App Store rules. After nearly a year of investigation triggered by a complaint by Spotify, the EU's biggest competition regulator objects to the way that Apple has assured a 30 percent cut on in-app subscription purchases.

If it's proven that Apple has abused its dominant market position, Apple could face billions of dollars — even tens of billions — in fines.
