In the Apple App Store case, the British court has instructed Apple to slow down and play by the rules.
The London court has ruled that the Apple App Store’s taking a 30% commission was unfair to app developers. A massive lawsuit by the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) claims that Apple’s 30% cut on apps on the App Store was way too greedy, and the court agreed. Apple claims that it used its market power to block competition and charge high commissions. This Apple App Store case could cost the company up to £1.5 billion in damages.
- About 20 million iPhone and iPad users are part of the Apple App Store case.
- The court said Apple is misusing its position by keeping all app payments on its platform.
- Apple plans to appeal, saying the ruling ignores the benefits of the App Store.
- Damages will be decided in the next hearing.
👉 Why this matters: The ruling could force big tech firms to lower fees and make app prices fairer for both developers and users.
