How Europe's regulatory battle with Apple could signal what's to come for American consumers

Economic Times · 1y

The U.S. government's antitrust lawsuit against Apple may take years to resolve, but European regulators' actions against the tech giant give an indication of potential future changes for American customers. 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.
