EU General Court upholds Apple's gatekeeper designation under the Digital Markets Act, requiring the company to allow alternative app stores, prohibit self-preferencing, and restrict data combination across services. This concrete regulatory enforcement reshapes App Store economics and competitive dynamics for developers globally.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Founders building app distribution, mobile dev tools, or alternative app stores now have enforceable EU regulatory cover to compete against Apple's App Store and access iOS users directly—a material shift in platform economics.
