French competition regulators have fined Apple at $ 162 million for privacy changes imposed on application developers, a criticism that can cause new wrath of US President Donald Trump before planned tariffs for this week.
French antitrust regulators said the Apple application tracking transparency system, which, since 2021, forces iPhone and iPad applications to ask users to track their activities in various applications, was discriminatory.
They said that Apple -managed services did not face similar restrictions, giving the company an unfair advantage.
Apple said it was disappointed with the decision and that it applies its rules consistently to all applications, including their own. Source: Dow Jones Newswires.
