Apple (AAPL) is coming under fire from Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) who claim Apple’s plans to open up its mobile software to comply with the E.U.’s Digital Markets Act do not go far enough, Michael Acton of The Financial Times reports. Apple announced last month it will make changes to the iOS mobile software in Europe to allow users to download apps from other sources and access alternative payment systems. However, Apple plans to add additional charges, such as an additional 3% fee to app developers using its payment processor and a “core technology fee” of 50c for every download or update to apps with more than 1M downloads on alternative app stores.
