Apple Faces Daily Fines from Brazilian Antitrust Regulator Cade
The Brazilian antitrust regulator, Cade, has made headlines by announcing that it will impose a significant fine on Apple if the company fails to comply with its latest ruling. The tech giant is set to face a fine of 250,000 real (approximately $43,000 USD) every day for non-compliance, with a strict 20-day deadline to meet the requirements.
Background of the Ruling
This ruling arises from a complaint filed in 2022 by MercadoLibre, a prominent Latin American e-commerce company, which raised concerns about Apple's stringent payment policies within its app ecosystem.
Key Requirements for Compliance
- Allow developers to link to external payment systems.
- Offer alternative in-app payment options beyond Apple's own payment system.
Implications for Developers
This decision could have far-reaching implications for developers on Apple's platform, providing them with greater flexibility and potentially reducing costs associated with in-app purchases.
Conclusion
As the deadline approaches, all eyes will be on Apple to see how it navigates this regulatory challenge in Brazil.
