The European Union's top court has ruled that Apple can face an antitrust damages lawsuit in the Netherlands concerning its App Store practices. This decision could result in a €637 million payout to affected Dutch consumers. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) confirmed that Dutch courts have jurisdiction over the case due to the App Store's localization for Dutch users.
Consumer groups allege that Apple's 30% commission on in-app purchases constitutes abusive pricing, leading to inflated costs for users. The lawsuit involves 14 million Dutch iPhone and iPad users, with a hearing scheduled for early 2026.
