Apple Inc. is facing a £1.5 billion ($1.8 billion) class action lawsuit in the UK over alleged anti-competitive practices related to its App Store commissions. The lawsuit, representing around 20 million iPhone and iPad users in the UK, claims that Apple abused its dominant market position by excluding other app stores from iOS devices and charging developers unfair commissions of up to 30%, leading to higher costs for consumers. The trial, which began on January 13, 2025, at London's Competition Appeal Tribunal, is the first UK class action trial against a Big Tech company. Apple denies the allegations, stating that the case is meritless.
