"Apple Allows Fortnite Return on iPhones in Europe Amid Epic Feud"

TL;DR Summary
Under pressure from European regulators, Apple has allowed Epic Games to bring Fortnite and its game store back to iPhones and iPads in Europe, following the EU's Digital Markets Act rules. This decision comes after Apple initially blocked Epic from launching its store and bringing back Fortnite, which was removed from the App Store in 2020. The move signals a shift in Apple's approach to app distribution and developer relations, as it reinstated Epic's developer account after initially blocking it, and both companies have committed to following the new rules set out to comply with the DMA.
