So after a certain point, the bigger the company the lower the fine? 20 million is 0.01% of Apple's turnover.

Whichever is greater, Apple would probably pay about 20 million * 400 (going by 0.01%) => 8 billion dollars.

Which I think would hit Apple rather hard.

4% or 20 million, whichever is greater.
