Apple faces another antitrust case

Stefan Mileschin · 13th January 2017, 19:34

A US appeals court has allowed phone app purchasers to sue the fruity-cargo cult Apple over allegations that the company monopolised the market for iPhone apps by not allowing users to purchase them outside the App Store.

Apple has form for playing monopoly but it had thought that this case would have gone away. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling dug up a long-simmering legal challenge originally filed in 2012 taking aim at Apple’s practice of only allowing iPhones to run apps purchased from its own App Store.

A group of iPhone users sued saying Jobs’ Mob’s practice was anti competitive and meant prices were too high
