Meta, Microsoft, X, and Match Group, are backing Epic Games in its protest against Apple's new fee on payments processed outside the App Store. This support significantly strengthens Epic's position. It is a reaction to Apple's decision to charge 27% fee on purchases outside of the App Store, a move made in response to European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA). The DMA requires Apple to permit third-party payments and alternative app marketplaces on iOS within the EU.
