Epic Games claims Apple is hindering its efforts to establish the Epic Games Store on iPhones and iPads in Europe, escalating their ongoing feud. Apple rejected Epic’s submission twice, citing design similarities with the App Store. Epic argued that its use of standard naming conventions is consistent with other platforms and accused Apple of violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
Epic has raised its concerns with the European Commission, asserting Apple’s actions are arbitrary and obstructive. Despite regulatory pressure and proposed changes to App Store policies, Apple faces continued scrutiny over its compliance with the DMA. Apple has not responded to Reuters’ requests for comment.
