Apple’s November challenge against the EU’s Digital Markets Act says the European Commission got it wrong by saying there’s only one App Store, when there’s actually five.
The Digital Markets Act is the European Union’s attempt to level the playing field and increase competition by reducing the dominance of major tech firms. With Apple in the crosshairs, the iPhone maker has taken multiple actions to try and reduce the impact the rules has against its business.

In the latest report about Apple’s challenges, it appears that it has taken offense to the European Commission’s treatment of Apple’s digital marketplaces, and is treating them all as one single platform.
Apple filed its legal challenge in November, but details of the filing were not made public at the time. On January 8, some details of the legal challenge were revealed.
