[Apple Faces $2.7 Billion Lawsuit Ahead of New Product Launch, Alleged Abuse of App Tracking Rules to Suppress Third Parties] Odaily Planet Daily News: Apple is facing a class-action lawsuit worth £2 billion (approximately $2.7 billion) ahead of its new product launch. The lawsuit, representing 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. Reportedly, 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. (Reuters)
