Google and Apple Fined Nearly $48 Million Over App Store

South Korea has imposed a combined fine of nearly $48 million on Google and Apple for violating the country's laws governing app stores and payment systems. The Korea Media and Communications Commission (KMCC) found that both companies unfairly restricted how app developers could accept payments and imposed unreasonable conditions on alternative payment methods.

The regulator has ordered both companies to change their app store policies and allow more payment options, with Google receiving a fine of approximately $32 million and Apple around $15.6 million.
