A UK class action against Apple

If you are an app developer based in the UK, it’s possible you have suffered financial loss because of Apple’s conduct.

Register to follow Ennis v Apple – the claim for compensation.

Ennis v Apple alleges that Apple has abused its dominant market position in iOS app distribution by charging an excessive “commission” – typically 30% – on apps and in-app sales of digital content (e.g., games, news apps, streaming apps, etc.). It’s possible that UK-based app developers that received revenue from the sale of Apps on the App Store have suffered financial loss by Apple.

We’re applying to bring an opt-out claim at the UK Competition Appeals Tribunal, to obtain damages for affected app developers. That could include you.
