Apple is sued again for monopoly on the App Store

There is another lawsuit related to the App Store online application store of the Apple brand.
The lawsuit was filed by a team from the UK, led by digital economist Rachael Kent at King’s College London, and is being considered by the UK Competition Court.

Accordingly, the group is asking Apple to return money to UK customers, with about 19.6 million people will be compensated a total of 1.5 billion pounds (equivalent to 2.1 billion USD). They believe that the US technology company has a monopoly when the App Store is the only “door” to download many applications to iPhone and iPad. The application emphasizes that after 13 years, the App Store is still the only source for Apple devices to access applications, proving that the company has been selfish, charging login fees and using this mechanism unfairly. They claim this is proprietary behavior. According to the lawsuit, Apple receives about 30% of the cost of purchasing an app. Apple, for its part, calls this a planned lawsuit and shouldn’t have happened. The company insists it is committed to its customers and that the App Store has greatly benefited the UK creative economy.
In addition, Apple is currently facing many legal challenges related to exclusivity when using the App Store because of a lawsuit for the same reason by Epic Games – the maker of the famous Fortnite game. according to iMore
