Apple reverses decision to ban Epic Games\' developer account in the EU following EU officials\' investigation. Epic will now be able to introduce its own app store to iPhones and iPads in the EU, as well as bring Fortnite back to these devices after a four-year absence due to an in-app purchase dispute with Apple. This move comes after Apple\'s commitment to comply with Digital Markets Act policies, signaling enforcement and accountability for gatekeepers like Apple.
