Apple's legal challenge to EU Digital Markets Act designations of its App Store and iOS as gatekeepers has been rejected by the General Court. The ruling upholds EU antitrust enforcement and clears the path for regulators to impose interoperability and openness obligations on Apple's core services.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you sell anything through Apple's App Store in Europe, the rules just became enforceable: Apple must let you interoperate with iOS and distribute apps outside the Store without punishment. Your leverage to negotiate App Store cuts and restrictions just doubled.
