If things get worse in the European Union so that Apple can continue to freely offer its products and services, Now it is USA from the National Commission of Markets and Competition (or CNMC from now on) who opened an investigation into the App Store for possible anti-competitive behavior on the Apple platform.
The CNMC launched its investigation last week, alleging that Apple may be abusing its dominant position to impose unfair commercial conditions on app developers.
On the other hand, in January of that same year, Apple announced alternative terms for EU developers, allowing them to opt for a lower commission of 10-17% (plus 3% if they decide to use the App Store payment processor). Additionally, if a developer opts for these alternative terms, a basic technology fee of $0.50 per user is charged for apps with more than one million annual installations.
Apple has denied allegations of unfair trading conditions
We will see how this investigation evolves from now on. CNMC has up to 24 months to investigate to Apple and make a final decision. What a view for those from Cupertino in Europe. Terrible.
