Apple’s idea of complying with the law in the Netherlands offers a glimpse of what developers elsewhere have to look forward to if regulators elsewhere succeed in challenging the company’s control of its iOS App Store.<\/p>\n

Apple is currently trying to fend off lawsuits and proposed legislation around the globe that threaten its stewardship of its iOS App Store. Third-party developers and lawmakers argue that the iGiant’s oversight, through contractually enforced rules, is anticompetitive. They aim to have some, if not all, of the company’s requirements, like using only using Apple’s own in-app payment system, relaxed.<\/p>\n
