Apple fights $1.8 bn app store lawsuit in UK on abuse of dominant position

Apple has abused its dominant position by charging app developers an unfair 30 per cent commission through its App Store, costing British consumers up to 1.5 billion pounds ($1.8 billion), a London tribunal heard on Monday.

The US tech company is facing a mass lawsuit brought on behalf of around 20 million iPhone and iPad users in the United Kingdom, who were allegedly overcharged for app purchases.
