Epic lost their case with Apple regarding Fortnite, yet now Epic are looking to make Fortnite available on iOS in EU. But from the article it seems an alternate "app marketplace" would still need Apple approval anyway. It will be interesting to see how all this is going to work.

Seems the EU law is pretty clear about not creating barriers for competitors. I suspect Apple is going to get slapped by the EU... Maybe not immediately, but my guess is before 2026. This stuff doesn't move fast.
