Euroconsumer files class action suit against Apple over ‘unfair profits’
“Apple didn’t play fair,” reads the Euroconsumer class action suit page. “As a big tech player, Apple abused its power to impose up to 30% extra charges on non-Apple music streaming services like Spotify, Deezer, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Amazon Music, Tidal, and Qobuz through its Apple App Store.”
It then points out that third-party streaming services raised prices on iOS customers to help cover the lost revenue. Euroconsumer claims those increased prices led to customers paying excessive fees of roughly 3 euros per month to use their service of choice.
