After three years of investigations, Indian regulators have concluded that Apple has been using antitrust behaviours by forcing App Store developers to use its in-app payment system.
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) began investigating Apple in 2021, following a complaint by a group called “Together We Fight Society.” While under Indian law the group’s complaint is confidential, its founder has said publicly that Apple’s 30% fee is too high, and that App Store rules including removal of apps must be addressed.
According to Reuters, the CCI has now concluded its investigation. The result is a 142-page report, which has not been made public, and which says Apple has “significant influence” over digital products and services.
