App Store commission
Billion-euro class action lawsuit against Apple
Apple has to answer to a British court for allegedly excessive commission claims in its App Store. At the start of the trial on Monday, lawyers for around 20 million iPhone and iPad users argued that the US company had caused consumers there the equivalent of 1.8 billion euros in damages. Apple rejects the lawsuit as unfounded.

The lawsuit is the first British class action against the US technology giant. Others are planned against Alphabet subsidiary Google, Facebook parent company Meta and online retailer Amazon.
