Apple Appeals $2B UK App Store Ruling That Found It Overcharged Millions

Apple is appealing a UK tribunal ruling that found it overcharged millions of iPhone and iPad users through its App Store commission structure. The decision requires the company to face a claim worth up to $2 billion, covering purchases between 2015 and 2024. Campaigners argue Apple abused its dominant position by imposing excessive fees that inflated app prices. Apple disputes the findings and has taken the case to the Court of Appeal, calling the judgment flawed. If upheld, millions of UK customers could receive compensation, though appeals may run into 2026.
