Overview
- The group of iPhone and iPad owners alleges Apple abuses market dominance by limiting iOS app downloads to the App Store.
- The complaint further claims Apple requires its In‑App Purchase system for digital goods and charges commissions up to 30%.
- Lawyer Wang Qiongfei leads the filing after a similar 2021 civil case was dismissed by a Shanghai court.
- Wang has appealed the earlier case to the Supreme People’s Court, which heard arguments in December and has not issued a ruling.
- Apple has not commented on the new complaint, which cites the company’s allowance of alternative payments and third‑party app stores in the EU and US under regulatory pressure.
