UK court rules Apple abused app store dominance

Apple lost a UK lawsuit Thursday which accuses the US tech giant of abusing the dominant position of its App Store, with claimants seeking more than £1.5 billion ($2 billion) in damages.

The Competition Appeal Tribunal found that Apple shut out competition in the app distribution market and charged app developers “excessive and unfair” commissions, according to the ruling seen by AFP.

Apple said it “strongly disagrees” with the ruling and intends to appeal.
