Apple Approves Epic Games' Marketplace App In Europe Amid Ongoing Feud
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has approved the marketplace app of Epic Games, the creator of "Fortnite," for iPhones and iPads in Europe. This move comes amid a continuing conflict between the two tech behemoths.
苹果公司（纳斯达克：AAPL）已经批准了“堡垒之夜”开发商Epic Games的市场应用在欧洲的iPhone和iPad上使用。此举是在这两家科技巨头之间持续冲突的背景下进行的。
What Happened: Apple's approval follows accusations from Epic Games that Apple was hindering its attempts to launch a games store on Apple devices.
发生的事情：苹果的批准是在Epic Games指责苹果阻碍其在苹果设备上推出游戏商店的指责之后进行的。
The tech giant stated that the dispute is centered around the Epic Sweden AB Marketplace and is not related to Epic's Fortnite app, which Apple has already approved, reported Reuters.
这家科技巨头表示，争端集中在Epic Sweden Ab市场上，与Epic的“堡垒之夜”应用程序无关，苹果已经批准了该应用。据路透社报道。
Epic Games had earlier alleged that Apple had twice rejected its application to launch the Epic Games Store due to similarities in the design of certain buttons and labels with those used by Apple's App Store.
Epic Games此前曾声称，由于某些按钮和标签的设计与苹果的应用商店相似，苹果两次拒绝了其推出“Epic Games Store”的申请。

"Apple's rejection is arbitrary, obstructive, and in violation of the DMA (Digital Markets Act), and we've shared our concerns with the European Commission," Epic said in a series of posts on X.
“苹果的拒绝是武断、阻碍，违反了DMA（数字市场法案）的规定，我们已经向欧洲委员会表明了我们的关注，”Epic在X上发布的一系列帖子中表示。
Why It Matters: The European Commission, which began an investigation into Apple's app validation processes and alternative app store sideloading last month, has yet to comment on the issue.
为什么它关注：欧洲委员会上个月开始对苹果的应用验证流程和替代应用商店侧载展开调查，但尚未就此问题发表评论。
The feud between Apple and Epic Games began in 2020 when Epic claimed that Apple's practice of charging up to 30% commissions on in-app payments on its iOS devices violated U.S. antitrust laws.
苹果和Epic Games之间的争端始于2020年，当时Epic声称，苹果在其iOS设备上收取高达30％的应用内支付佣金的做法违反了美国反垄断法。
Earlier this year, Apple proposed changes to its App Store policies to comply with specific directives of the DMA, which came into effect in March. These changes permitted alternative app stores on iPhones and allowed users to opt out of using the in-app payment system.
今年早些时候，苹果提出了其应用商店政策的更改，以遵守DMA的具体指令，该指令已于3月生效。这些变化允许在iPhone上使用替代应用商店，并允许用户选择不使用应用内支付系统。
However, Apple introduced a "core technology fee," which many developers have criticized as exploitative.
然而，苹果推出了一项“核心技术费用”，许多开发人员批评其具有剥削性。
