According to some other reports, Apple accepting the bribe does not violate any antitrust rules. (Can't find an english-language source for that unfortunately)

This one for example: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/134381/eu-legt-qualcomm-boete-op...

Quote: “Volgens Vestager treft Apple in dit dossier geen blaam; er zou geen bewijs zijn dat Apple de Europese mededingingsregels heeft overtreden.“

Translation: “According to Vestager Apple is not blamed in this case; there seems to be no evidence Apple violated the European antitrust rules”

Bribe is such an incorrect word for this. A discount isn’t a bribe, nor is a rebate. If Tim Cook got extra money in his bank account, then that would be a bribe. This situation isn’t.
