Brought by Sean Ennis, a professor at the Centre for Competition Policy at the University of East Anglia, on behalf of 1,566 app developers
“Apple’s charges to app developers are excessive, and only possible due to its monopoly on the distribution of apps onto iPhones and iPads”
“The charges are unfair in their own right, and constitute abusive pricing. They harm app developers and also app buyers.”
