Chinese Users File Complaint Against Apple Over App Distribution

A group of 55 Chinese iPhone and iPad users filed a complaint with China's market regulator, a lawyer representing the group said, alleging that Apple abuses its market dominance by restricting app distribution and payments to its own platforms while charging high commissions. The complaint to China's State Administration for Market Regulation scrutinizes Apple at a time when trade tensions between Beijing and Washington have been intensifying, with both governments deploying tariffs and technology restrictions as policy tools.
