Apple · Apple Pay mobile wallet and tap-to-pay functionality on Apple devices

A proposed class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleges that Apple violated federal antitrust law by restricting competitors' access to iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch NFC technology, making Apple Pay the only mobile wallet available for tap-to-pay payments on those devices. The complaint seeks monetary relief for U.S. card issuers that paid fees on Apple Pay transactions and is at the filing stage.
