Italy fines Apple $115 million: Here’s why and what the iPhone maker said

Italy's antitrust watchdog has fined Apple 98.6 million euros for alleged market abuse, claiming the tech giant unfairly penalized third-party developers through its App Tracking Transparency framework. The regulator stated Apple's policies were disproportionate and harmed developers by making data collection harder than for its own services. Apple strongly disagrees with the findings and vows to appeal the decision.
