[Apple Faces $2.7 Billion Class Action Lawsuit Ahead of New Product Launch, Accused of Abusing App Tracking Rules to Suppress Third Parties] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on September 3, according to Reuters, Apple is facing a class action lawsuit worth 2 billion pounds (approximately $2.7 billion) ahead of its new product launch. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of app developers, accuses Apple of abusing its market dominance by imposing stricter restrictions on third-party developers through its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) rules, thereby creating a competitive advantage for its own advertising business. It is reported that Apple introduced the ATT feature in 2021, allowing users to decide whether to authorize apps to track their activities across other companies' apps and websites. The plaintiffs argue that Apple has imposed stricter requirements on third-party apps compared to its own services, causing significant losses to businesses reliant on Apple's platform.
