UK Consumer Claims Concerning Apple Products Sold Through Amazon
Apple and Amazon · Apple and Beats hardware sold through Amazon's marketplace
Consumers allege that Apple and Amazon agreed to restrict independent retailers' sales of Apple products through Amazon's marketplace, limiting competition and increasing prices. The Competition Appeal Tribunal allowed claims concerning products bought through Amazon's marketplace to proceed while rejecting claims concerning Apple products sold through Apple and other retailers; the matter is ongoing.
