European Union regulators are investigating Apple’s revised app store fees amid concerns they may increase costs for developers, according to Bloomberg News.
The European Commission sent questionnaires to developers in December focusing on Apple’s new “core technology fee” of $0.51 per app installation, part of its compliance with EU’s Digital Markets Act. Under Apple’s revised structure, developers can maintain existing terms with commissions up to 30% on app sales, or choose a new model with lower commission rates but additional charges.
