苹果英国因收费过高遭集体诉讼 赔偿额或逾15亿英镑
阿思达克 05-12 09:33
苹果公司於英国伦敦面临一宗集体诉讼,被指控向近2,000万名英国客户收取过高的App Store购买费用。

控方指出,苹果在当地收费水平达30%,标准过高且不合法,要求苹果赔偿多年来对英国iPhone和iPad用户的过高收费,估计苹果可能要面临超过15亿英镑(约164.6亿港元)的赔偿金额。案件主要原告、伦敦国王学院教授Rachael Kent称,苹果滥用其在应用商店市场的主导地位,影响了英国消费者。

苹果发表声明指,有关诉讼毫无根据,对有机会与法院探讨公司对消费者的坚定承诺,以及App Store为英国创新经济带来的诸多好处表示欢迎。

苹果又指,App Store的抽佣比例与其他数字市场的主流水平相若,而且84%的应用程式属於免费,开发者不须向苹果支付任何费用,而绝大多数销售数字商品或服务的开发者,向苹果支付佣金水平为约15%。
