Apple has to deal with a class action in the Netherlands: this is what is happening

New problems for Apple in the Netherlands. In addition to the antitrust, which has been sanctioning the company for several weeks, Apple must now also deal with one class action which aims to obtain compensation from Apple for European users. According to the promoters of the class action, developers are forced to charge users the fees requested by the American company. Consumers, therefore, would pay too much due to these constant commissions (equal to 30%) applied to all transitions made in the app. The action aims to get a compensation of 5 billion euros.

The Cupertino house has refused an agreement: it will go to court

La class action di Consumer Competition Claims is bound to go to court. Apple has turned down the possibility of solving the matter with the Dutch foundation in private. All European Apple customers who have transitioned to the AppStore will now be able to join the initiative. For more details, please refer to Consumer Competition Claims official website. The first updates on the continuation of the legal action against Apple could already arrive in the next few weeks.
