Why is Apple going to court over app store fees?
Показать описание
Apple is set for trial on Monday, as the first of the big tech firms to face a UK class action over claims it has been charging “excessive and unlawful” fees on its App Store.
The billion pound landmark case was launched back in 2021 to the Competition Appeal Tribunal on behalf of nearly 20m Apple users.
The claim alleges that Apple deliberately shuts out competition by forcing consumers to use its own payment processing system.
It was stated that the tech giant charges a 30 per cent commission on purchases made on the app store while taking a further fee from developers for in-app purchases.
