Oklo stock tumbles as Financial Times scrutinizes valuation
Investing.com -- A group of 55 Chinese iPhone and iPad users filed a complaint against Apple with China’s market regulator on Monday, alleging the tech giant abuses its market dominance.
The complaint to the State Administration for Market Regulation claims Apple restricts app distribution and payments to its own platforms while charging high commissions, according to the lawyer representing the group, Wang Qiongfei.
The filing accuses Apple of three main violations of China’s Anti-Monopoly Law: forcing consumers to purchase digital goods exclusively through Apple’s In-App Purchase system, restricting iOS app downloads to the App Store, and charging commissions of up to 30% on in-app purchases.
The complainants argue that Apple maintains a monopoly over iOS app distribution in China while allowing alternative payment methods and app stores in other markets following regulatory pressure from the European Union and United States.
This marks the second complaint against Apple led by Wang. A similar case filed in 2021 was dismissed by a Shanghai court last year.
