"Apple Reinstates Epic Games in European App Store After Developer Account Termination"

TL;DR Summary
Apple has approved Epic Games' developer account in Sweden, allowing the company to offer a competing app store on iPhones in Europe under the new Digital Markets Act. This comes after Apple initially blocked the account, leading to questions about the effectiveness of the new regulation. European regulators are expected to enforce the law, and Apple's reversal suggests their willingness to comply. The conflict between Epic Games and Apple stems from Apple's App Store policies, including its 30% cut of game purchases and 15% of online subscriptions.
