UK Users File Class Action Against Apple Over Alleged $2 Billion Overcharge

A significant class action lawsuit has been filed in the UK on behalf of approximately 20 million iPhone and iPad users, alleging that Apple has artificially inflated app prices, resulting in nearly $2 billion in overcharges. According to reports from Reuters, the lawsuit contends that Apple's practices hinder fair competition in the app marketplace. In response, Apple has dismissed the claims as baseless, arguing that they overlook the benefits of its iOS environment, especially in terms of user security and privacy protections.
