It's a big ask for a region that only represents about 7% of Apple revenue. I don't see how Apple leaves the EU, or how they will comply with all of these demands.

7% for Europe seemed unlikely to me so I googled it.

First link I opened says Europe is the second biggest market for Apple at 24% after the US at 42%. https://www.bullfincher.io/companies/apple/revenue-by-geogra...

Could you post your source for the 7% or explain how you got that number?

24% is for Europe which includes many countries that are not in the EU. That said, the 7% is EU App Store revenue so I don't think we know the actual revenue number for the EU. It stands to reason that its not crazy far off from 7% though assuming EU customers buy things in the app store at similar rates to elsewhere.

It seems more like 25%, a bigger market than US and with a lot of progression margin because of android dominance.
