Apple is reportedly set to settle a long-running EU antitrust investigation into its mobile payments system, avoiding a significant fine. The settlement, which includes a 10-year promise, aims to address 'tap-and-go' payment issues and ensure Apple avoids sanctions such as a fine of up to 10% of the company’s total worldwide annual turnover. This comes as Apple faces multiple serious issues under the EU's regulations aimed at curbing Big Tech's influence.
