\tSoftware company Cydia filed a lawsuit against Apple accusing it of engaging in anti-competitive practices to maintain a monopoly over iOS app distribution, adding to growing criticism of the iPhone maker’s practices.<\/p>\n

In court documents, Cydia stated it was the first to offer users a marketplace where they could obtain third-party applications on iPhones, but alleged Apple progressively worked to \u201cstamp out competition\u201d following the introduction of its App Store in 2008.<\/p>\n

It accused Apple of various anti-competitive actions, including pre-installing the App Store on iPhones and making it impossible for users to delete it or pick another default option; and requiring use of the official store to avoid the risk of voiding device warranties.<\/p>\n

Cydia also blasted Apple\u2019s requirement for developers to use its payment processing system and the 30 per cent commission [1] on in-app purchases.<\/p>\n

The company concluded Apple deprived rivals \u201cof the ability to compete with the App Store and to offer developers and consumers better prices” services and choice.<\/p>\n

It asked the court to block Apple from continuing its alleged conduct.<\/p>\n

Apple told Reuters it does not have a monopoly over any market.<\/p>\n

The company is already fighting a legal battle with Epic Games [2] over its App Store policies, which are also under scrutiny by regulators in Europe [3], the US, Japan, South Korea and Australia.<\/p>\n
