EU industry chief, Thierry Breton, has warned Apple that it will face severe consequences if its modifications to the App Store do not comply with the upcoming regulations introduced by the European Union. Apple's changes, which include allowing alternative app stores and opting out of in-app payments, are seen as a step towards compliance with the EU's Digital Markets Act. However, critics argue that Apple's fee structure may still violate the regulations. The EU will assess the proposed solutions from 7 March, and if they are found lacking, the EU will take strong action.
