UK lawsuit claims Apple charges excessive commissions, maintains monopoly through App Store.

A £1.5 billion class action lawsuit against Apple is set to begin in the UK, accusing the company of charging excessive commissions of up to 30% on app purchases. Led by a digital economy specialist, the case argues Apple maintains a monopoly by forcing developers to use its App Store. Apple defends its fees as standard, noting 84% of apps are free. The trial, considered the first of its kind in the UK against Big Tech, is expected to last seven weeks.
