This isn't the only fine though. It's one of several they've been hit by in recent years and more might be coming. They are also getting bigger over time.

It's not like the EU will just give up after one fine.

As an economic union they have a lot of power in cases like this.

They could ban them entirely if they wanted.

In the meantime, Apple rakes in exponentially more and more money.

Well, I can afford to be fined 10$ several times in a few years
