知情人士称,苹果及其律师会见了助理司法部长乔纳森·坎特(Jonathan Kanter),后者将就是否提起诉讼做出最终决定。反垄断执法人员自2019年以来一直在调查苹果,称苹果对其iPhone和iPad施加软件和硬件限制,以阻止竞争对手的有效竞争。

诉讼将在未来几周内提起

据消息人士透露,该诉讼预计将在未来几周内提起,“最有可能”在三月底之前。 另见: 卡拉·桑德森.

该报告提到,苹果的App Store向开发者收取15%或30%的佣金,此举遭到了开发者和立法者的严厉批评。今年一月,苹果宣布将允许美国开发者在App Store之外使用其他支付系统,但App Store小型企业计划成员的佣金定为12%,而其他开发者则为27%。

苹果在欧洲的行动引发关注

美国司法部也在关注苹果在欧洲的行动。为遵守这一要求,苹果将允许用户从App Store以外的来源下载软件、使用其他支付系统,并更方便地选择新的默认网络浏览器。 另见: Arda Daglioglu 的 AS210880 实验网络概况.

预计最早下周,苹果将面临欧盟反垄断监管机构至少5亿欧元的罚款,原因是其平台涉嫌扼杀来自音乐流媒体竞争对手(包括Spotify)的竞争。 另见: 萨沙·沃尔特.
