The French Commercial Court in Paris today fined Apple $1 million for unfair App Store tactics, writes Reuters.
According to the verdict, Apple placed unfair commercial conditions on French software developers in exchange for access to the App Store.
French finance minister Bruno Le Maire has been promoting the rights of developers, and he feels that Apple and Google’s app stores take advantage of software creators.
In a statement, Apple stated that it will look into the court’s verdict and will continue to engage with French developers.
We will attentively examine this French court judgement and will continue to work hard to provide assistance for developers and a safe experience for users.
