Apple — App Store commissions class action

Australian iPhone/iPad users who purchased apps or in-app digital content via the App Store, and Australian app developers who sold through it. The Federal Court found in favour of the class applicants at the first-stage liability trial (Anthony v Apple Inc [2025] FCA 902, 12 Aug 2025); the loss and damages stage is still pending, so no per-person amount is confirmed.
