Apple is set to be fined by the European Union's antitrust regulators under the bloc's landmark rules aimed at reining in the power of Big Tech, making it the first company to be sanctioned.
The regulators charged in June that the iPhone maker had breached the bloc's tech rules.
The charge against Apple was the first by the Commission under its Digital Markets Act.
Sources say the fine is likely to come this month, although the timing could still change.
The fine would add to Apple's mounting antitrust troubles, as EU regulators attempt to level the playing field for smaller firms.
This comes just months after Brussels fined Apple 1.84 billion euros in March for thwarting competition from music streaming rivals via restrictions on its App Store - Apple's first ever penalty for breaching EU rules.
