I don't think apple should have backed down. Epic has proven itself to not care for the rules and deliberately manipulate public opinion.
Epic knew introducing a third-party payment system would kick them off the ios store so they spun up a special interest group and tried to claim Epic as a victim of big tech despite also bing a multi billion dollar company.
And before people make assumptions, I don't support the apple walled garden either. I like having alternative app stores and hope to see fdroid make an appearance on iOS.
And Apple hasn't manipulated public opinion? Epic might be assholes, but they are right: Apple is anti-competitive and should adhere to the DMA.

No doubt apple has. Neither orgs are the better in this scenario.
Both are out for their own money making interest.
Sure but I think Apple is coming out worse with the way they are complying with the EU rules. At least to me it has tarnished them.
