Apple will allow iPhone users in the EU to download and install apps from the web. The company announced the innovation with a meager announcement on their developer website.
Apple is bowing to the new rules of the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) The company also charges a so-called core technology levy of 50 cents per initial installation for free apps that have been downloaded and installed at least a million times within twelve months. This could be relevant for the gaming company Epic Games, which has announced that it wants to bring its game “Fortnite” back to Apple devices via its own app store.
