EU Drops Four-Year Apple Audiobook Probe After Complaint Withdrawn

The European Union has announced that it has ceased its investigation into how Apple treats rival audiobook developers on the App Store. The probe began in 2020 after an unnamed ebook and audiobook distributor filed a complaint claiming that Apple prevents developers from getting important customer data. The EU says that the closure is because the complaint was withdrawn, not due to the belief that Apple's actions were correct.
