Apple Gives Into EU Antitrust Demands in Fight Over App Payment

Apple Inc. said it has accepted European Union demands to stop preventing music-streaming apps from informing users of deals away from the company’s App Store, although it will still charge a fee on those sales.

The Cupertino, California-based iPhone maker said Friday that music streaming apps on its App Store in Europe can now include a link to the developer’s website, informing users of alternative ways of buying subscriptions. The announcement came after the company was hit with a €1.8 billion fine from Brussels regulators for alleged abusive behavior.
