Apple is changing its App Store policies in the EU in a last-minute attempt to avoid a series of escalating fines from Brussels.
The $3 trillion iPhone maker will allow developers in the bloc to offer apps designed for the iOS operating system in places other than Apple's App Store, the company said.
Apple has been negotiating for two months with the European Commission after being fined 500 million for breaching the EU's Digital Markets Act, the landmark legislation designed to curtail the power of Big Tech groups.
