\tThe UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched an investigation into Apple\u2019s conditions for app developers, following claims the terms imposed for its App Store are unfair and anti-competitive.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the CMA said it acted following complaints from developers and its own assessments of the digital sector.<\/p>\n

The regulator added the investigation would \u201cconsider whether Apple has a dominant position in connection with the distribution of apps on Apple devices in the UK and, if so, whether Apple imposes unfair or anti-competitive terms on developers using the App Store, ultimately resulting in users having less choice or paying higher prices for apps and add-ons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Its initial timetable for the probe estimates by September 2021 the CMA will have undertaken an initial investigation, gathered information from other parties and conducted a review of the results.<\/p>\n

The UK probe is the latest in a mounting number of complaints [1], court cases and regulatory scrutiny into various aspects of Apple\u2019s rules related to accepting and distributing apps through the App Store, in addition to policies on processing in-app purchases.<\/p>\n

Among these, the European Commission has three App Store investigations open, [2] while Fortnite maker Epic Games is set for a long-awaited US court showdown with Apple [3] in May.<\/p>\n
