US Supreme Court decides to let consumers sue Apple over App Store rules
The US Supreme Court on Monday ruled against Apple in a case that could have broad implications for the e-commerce industry and which also means the door is now open for consumers to sue the iPhone maker over its App Store rules and practices.
In a 5-4 ruling, with Donald Trump appointee Brett Kavanaugh siding with the court's four liberal justices, the decision essentially clears the way for a class action lawsuit against Apple to proceed. That suit will focus on Apple's rules that developers must sell their apps through its app marketplace, in addition to paying a 30 percent commission to Apple.
