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.
蘋果公司（納斯達克：AAPL）已經批准了“堡壘之夜”開發商Epic Games的市場應用在歐洲的iPhone和iPad上使用。此舉是在這兩家科技巨頭之間持續衝突的背景下進行的。
What Happened: Apple's approval follows accusations from Epic Games that Apple was hindering its attempts to launch a games store on Apple devices.
發生的事情：蘋果的批准是在Epic Games指責蘋果阻礙其在蘋果設備上推出遊戲商店的指責之後進行的。
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.
這家科技巨頭表示，爭端集中在Epic Sweden Ab市場上，與Epic的“堡壘之夜”應用程序無關，蘋果已經批准了該應用。據路透社報道。
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此前曾聲稱，由於某些按鈕和標籤的設計與蘋果的應用商店相似，蘋果兩次拒絕了其推出“Epic Games Store”的申請。

"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.
“蘋果的拒絕是武斷、阻礙，違反了DMA（數字市場法案）的規定，我們已經向歐洲委員會表明了我們的關注，”Epic在X上發佈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.
爲什麼它關注：歐洲委員會上個月開始對蘋果的應用驗證流程和替代應用商店側載展開調查，但尚未就此問題發表評論。
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.
蘋果和Epic Games之間的爭端始於2020年，當時Epic聲稱，蘋果在其iOS設備上收取高達30％的應用內支付佣金的做法違反了美國反壟斷法。
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.
今年早些時候，蘋果提出了其應用商店政策的更改，以遵守DMA的具體指令，該指令已於3月生效。這些變化允許在iPhone上使用替代應用商店，並允許用戶選擇不使用應用內支付系統。
However, Apple introduced a "core technology fee," which many developers have criticized as exploitative.
然而，蘋果推出了一項“核心技術費用”，許多開發人員批評其具有剝削性。
