Apple responded to a consultation on the Digital Markets Act with a call to repeal the entire regulation.

The European Commission’s requested changes to the Apple App Store would allow developers to accept payments through third-party services. In April 2025, Apple was fined €500 million ($570 million) under the DMA.

“The DMA should be repealed while a more appropriate fit for purpose legislative instrument is put in place,” Apple wrote in a formal submission related to the consultation about the law, according to France24.

Developers, including Epic Games and Spotify, have applauded the European Commission’s enforcement of the DMA.
