Apple fights 1.8 billion-dollar App Store lawsuit in first of UK class actions against tech giants
LONDON - Apple has abused its dominant position by charging app developers an unfair 30% commission through its App Store, costing British consumers up to 1.5 billion pounds , a London tribunal heard on Monday.
Apple, however, says the case is meritless and overlooks the benefits to consumers of the integrated approach of its iOS operating system, which prioritises security and privacy. A similar $1.1 billion case against Google over the commission it charges app developers for access to its Play Store begins later in 2025.Rachael Kent, the British academic bringing the case which began on Monday, argues Apple has made "exorbitant profits" by excluding all competition for the distribution of apps and in-app purchases.
"Apple is not just dominant ... it holds a 100% monopoly position," Kent's lawyer Mark Hoskins said in court filings.
