According to 9to5Mac , after the European Union (EU) requested that Apple allow iPhone developers to bypass the App Store's in-app payment system, the company took what is believed to be a move to "intimidate" users in order to resist the new regulation.
Specifically, Apple has added a prominent warning on apps that allow users to make payments through third-party systems. Developer Viktor Maric posted a screenshot showing Apple issuing a warning that it will not provide security support for Instacar, one of the most popular business apps in Hungary.
Notably, the iPhone manufacturer uses a "severe" warning level, which is typically reserved for extremely serious situations with a high risk of data loss.
This move is also believed to violate the Digital Marketplace Act (DMA), which requires Apple to allow third-party payment options from the outset.
By regulation, DMA does not permit the use of such screen warnings to discourage users from using external payment options. This is considered an illegal anti-navigation measure.
Michael Tsai, a Mac developer, also noted that Apple's overuse of the highest-level warning diminishes its true meaning. Even Apple itself acknowledges this in its specific guidelines on how to use the warning.
"Use warning icons sparingly. Using warning icons like the triangular exclamation mark too often diminishes their significance. Only use them when extra attention is truly needed, such as when confirming an action that could lead to unexpected data loss," Tsai quoted Apple's announcement on in-app warnings, which provides specific guidance on when to use each type.
