            <description>Apple said on Wednesday that proposed UK rules governing its App Store would amount to price ‌regulation, arguing that plans to loosen its control over in-app payments ‌could undermine innovation and investment.  In a submission to Britain's Competition and Markets Authority, the iPhone maker ​said proposed "steering" requirements would go beyond promoting competition and give the regulator a "highly intrusive" role in managing its business.  Its proposed measures ‌would allow app developers to ⁠direct users to payment options outside Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store and require any fees charged for such ⁠steering to be fair and reasonable.</description>
