A battle is underway between Apple and local developers in Europe over control of the App Store. While Apple claims to have introduced new rules that loosen its grip on the platform, developers argue that the changes only solidify the tech giant’s power. They are now rallying against the new system, accusing Apple of being “abusive” and “extortionate.” Developers feel that Apple treats iPhones as its personal territory and tightly controls access for developers while taking a portion of their profits. The new business terms introduced by Apple have left developers disappointed and feeling that the company is using its market dominance like a dictator.
