Spilling the tea about justice being served<\/h2>\n

One of the most popular brands in the UK smartphone market was recently in the midst of a class action lawsuit, led by academic Dr Rachael Kent. Apple allegedly exploited its dominant market position by excluding competition with the app store and charging commission that was deemed ‘excessive and unfair.’ According to Dr Kent, users reportedly lost \u00a31.5 billion over a decade due to unfair charges.<\/p>\n

Dr Kent became the first female Class Representative in the UK’s class action lawsuit system and led the case on behalf of 36 million impacted customers in the UK.\u00a0<\/strong>According to the class action lawsuit, in the majority of cases, reportedly 30% of the paid app, subscription, or in-app purchases bought on the app store directly went to Apple as commission. As a result, customers allegedly experienced higher user costs.<\/p>\n

The Competition Appeals Tribunal eventually rules against Apple. It concluded that Apple had exploited its market dominance by\u00a0“blocking competition in the iOS app distribution and in-app payment markets.”<\/p>\n

iPhone users could receive \u00a375 compensation<\/h2>\n

The judgment ruling confirmed that the overall damages claim will be a significant amount, and may range from \u00a31.184 billion to \u00a32.237 billion<\/strong>, including interest claimed. The total amount you could receive in compensation will vary based on the number of claims that are filed. According to the judgment, compensation will be between \u00a327 and \u00a375. An upcoming hearing will determine how the damages are calculated.<\/p>\n

This class action lawsuit’s compensation may not make you rich, but it is better than nothing. Those opting for more compensation, drivers may also claim their share of \u00a314.2 million in car compensation<\/a>. Eligible customers could receive a response within one month. With regards to the \u00a375 compensation, only certain Apple customers will be deemed eligible for the money.<\/p>\n

Only these customers may qualify for the money<\/h2>\n
