It looks like Apple is Naked Poison II (2002)about to make history – as the first company to receive a fine under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA).
According to a new reportfrom Bloomberg, the European Commission is planning to slap Apple with a fine of as much as 10 percent of the company's global annual sales.

Mashable reportedin June that the Europe Commission was investigating Apple for breaching its DMA laws, which went into effect in November 2022.
Apple was previously hitwith a whopping $2 billion fine earlier this year for similarly restricting the music streaming service Spotify from promoting cheaper deals outside of the App Store inside of its app. However, the EU doled out that fine under its traditional antitrust rules.
The EU instituted the DMA in order to further spur competition within industries typically dominated by Big Tech companies. The DMA requires that large tech companies, deemed gatekeepers, allow for open competition from third-party entities on their core platforms.
The DMA has already forcedApple to make sweeping changes to its core platform services, like the App Store, in the EU. Still, Apple is being further investigatedby the European Commission for failing to do so in other areas of core platforms that it operates. It's very possible that whatever the final total for this penalty is for Apple, it's just the first in a number of fines to come.
