Apple Inc. is facing legal challenges on multiple fronts. In China, a local developer has filed a lawsuit against Apple, echoing the Fortnite case in the U.S., challenging Apple's App Store practices. The lawsuit seeks damages of $420,000 and aims to force Apple to open its App Store in China. Meanwhile, in the European Union, Apple has been warned by the European Commission to cease its geo-blocking practices on Apple Media Services, including the App Store, which restrict content access based on users' locations. The EU has given Apple one month to propose commitments on how it will address these practices, which are seen as potentially violating consumer protection rules. Additionally, Apple faces a £3 billion compensation claim in the UK over allegations of trapping and overcharging 40 million iCloud customers.
