Will affect commission income, Apple admits that the opening of the European market to the third party App Store is inevitable.

CTOnews.com, Nov. 9 (Xinhua)-- according to the 10Muk document submitted by Apple, the company expects to be forced to support third-party app stores in the European market from 2024.

Apple has tried to lobby the European Union to support App Store for security and other factors, at least some of which can be revised, but with the landing of the Digital Market Act, Apple admitted in the document that App Store adjustment for the European market is inevitable.

The contents of the Apple 10murk file translated by CTOnews.com are as follows:

The company plans to change its existing business model in the future, such as having to comply with the requirements of the EU Digital Markets Act and adjust App Store by March 2024.

These future changes may affect the fees that companies charge developers, how to manage application distribution outside App Store Mall, how to get developers to communicate with consumers within App Store about alternative purchase mechanisms, and so on.

These changes may reduce sales and affect the commission earned by the company, which may adversely affect the company's business, operating results and financial position.
