Apple being sued for $1bn by UK-based app developers
Apple is being sued for £1bn by UK app developers over its App Store fees.
Professor Sean Ennis, from the University of East Anglia Centre for Competition Policy, is bringing the class action lawsuit on behalf of 1,566 app creators because of the tech giant's"excessive" charges.in commission when using its in-app payment system - a procedure that has been criticised by antitrust regulators in several countries.
Professor Ennis said:"Apple's charges to app developers are excessive, and only possible due to its monopoly on the distribution of apps onto iPhones and iPads. "The charges are unfair in their own right, and constitute abusive pricing. They harm app developers and also app buyers."
