Apple faces a UK lawsuit over App Store fees, as a London court rejects its appeal to dismiss a class action lawsuit valued at just under $1 billion. The lawsuit, on behalf of over 1,500 app developers, alleges that Apple charges third-party developers unfair commissions of up to 30% on purchases of apps or other content. Led by competition law professor and economist, Sean Ennis, the case seeks damages for UK-based developers. Apple has faced mounting pressure from regulators in the US and Europe over the fees it charges third-party developers distributing apps via the App Store.
