According to reports, Apple is expected to make some concessions in negotiations with the EU to address issues related to the "guidance" clause, which aims to prevent users from accessing promotions outside of the App Store, in order to avoid fines that will take effect this week. The report cited unnamed participants in the negotiations as saying that Apple is expected to announce some concessions in order to buy more time. The European Commission will first evaluate these changes before making a final decision. The negotiations also involve Apple's "core technology fees," which require developers to pay a fee for each installation after 1 million downloads. Apple has declined to comment. The European Commission has confirmed that it is in close communication with Apple to discuss effective compliance matters, but has not commented on possible outcomes before the deadline of June 26th.
