Apple loses EU court battle, opening door to collective antitrust claims over App Store

The General Court in Luxembourg dismissed Apple's challenge against the European Commission's designation of its App Store and iOS platform as gatekeepers under the Digital Markets Act. This ruling enforces strict obligations on Apple's core platform services across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. Consequently, the decision opens the door for collective antitrust claims and increases EU scrutiny, potentially reshaping global digital market dynamics and amplifying legal risks for the tech giant.
