Silicon Valley rarely eats humble pie, but U.S. judges just served Apple a small slice. jennifersaba GinaChon
The United States Supreme Court ruled that a group of consumers should be permitted to sue Apple for the way apps are priced on its App Store.
The plaintiffs alleged that the iPhone maker exercises “monopoly power” in the sale of apps, and unlawfully uses that power to set prices higher than competitive rates. Apple had argued that it was an intermediary, and that app developers set pricing. Five of the nine judges, led by Justice Brett Kavanaugh who joined the court in October, supported the decision published on May 13.
