A lawsuit has been filed against Apple by Pure Sweat Basketball, claiming the company unlawfully took commissions after a federal injunction allowed developers to use alternative payment systems. The case highlights ongoing antitrust issues stemming from Appleâs previous legal battle with Epic Games, which challenged the company's restrictive payment policies. Despite a court ruling that aimed to benefit developers, Apple allegedly introduced new fees, thus continuing to limit fairness in the app marketplace. The lawsuit seeks class-action status to represent other affected developers in recovering the commissions taken by Apple.
It appears as though Apple has been caught red-handed blatantly seeking to undercut the law.
We believe app developers deserve a fair market to promote and sell their products, and the world's largest corporation doesn't get to bully them out of this billion-dollar revenue stream.
This particular lawsuit is an outgrowth of a long antitrust dispute between the fruit-themed tech giant and Epic Games.
...Apple instead introduced new fees and erected additional barriers after promising to eliminate anti-steering rules.
