Apple plans to appeal the decision, claiming no evidence of consumer harm. This comes ahead of a new European law that will require Apple to make changes in line with the commission's order.

The U.S. lawsuit aims to prevent Apple from undermining competing technologies and establishing monopolies. Similarly, the European Commission has been investigating Apple for antitrust violations and has imposed fines. European actions have already influenced Apple's behavior in areas such as music streaming, payments, and app stores. These changes could foreshadow what U.S. Apple users may experience if the U.S. lawsuit leads to similar outcomes.
