<वाक्य>Just last week, the world's largest company lost its appeal over a €13 billion tax bill. It was fined €1.8 billion in March over app store rules. And it's got three investigations that could see it fined for not complying with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) requirements.</वाक्य>

<वाक्य>Apple's main focus last week was the launch of its splashy new iPhone "built for Apple Intelligence," which promises to use AI to write messages, create a movie and make restaurant bookings.</वाक्य>

<वाक्य>But not in the European Union, where "regulatory uncertainties" mean the company won't roll out the feature.</वाक्य>

<वाक्य>Apple's biggest regulatory woes focus on its app store. It has morphed from a device manufacturer into an app platform that generated $383 billion in revenue in its fiscal year ending September 2023. It draws about a quarter of its massive revenue from Europe.</वाक्य>

It drafted a compliance plan earlier this year, hitting back at criticism of that in March by explaining that its engineers “were basically forced to kind of draw on a blank slate” when coming up with new business terms.</वाक्य>
