    Supreme Court rules iPhone users can sue Apple over App Store prices

    Supreme Court rules iPhone users can sue Apple over App Store prices

    Kavanaugh voted with the left. I agree with the result based on the limited information that I have.

    The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that a class-action lawsuit against Apple can move forward, in a blow to the tech-giant.

    A group of consumers had sought to sue Apple, claiming that the company's monopoly over its App Store led to inflated app prices. Apple disputed the notion, arguing the consumers could only sue the app developers.


    Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion for the 5-4 decision, siding with the court's liberal justices.


    The ruling does not settle the lawsuit, but rather allows it to advance through the courts.

    The right remedy is for consumers to not buy Apple products.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Never had an apple anything, dont know a thing about apple except this, Everything they make is proprietary, its very difficult to fix their computers, laptops etc because you can only get them repaired by apple, on most things they wont sell you the part to fix it yourself, you have to pay them to fix it.

    Apple designed some of its own screwheads and fasteners so you need special tools to even remove them. Sometimes you can find the tools on ebay sometimes you cant.

    Apple is an all around pain in the ass and I can think of no good reason to buy one, especially apple computers that cost their owners far far far more than IBMs, to buy fix and maintain.

    Apple is very tight-fisted about third parties developing software for their machines, at least for their computers. I saw it as controlling quality more than trying to monopolize it and raise prices.

    They dont want 3rd party anything chris, they want EVERYTHING to have to go through them. Even after warranty repairs you have to pay shipping which isnt cheap for a computer, pay for the repair and pay shipping back.

    I don't feel sorry for people who buy Apple products. They know going in that they are over priced and virtually impossible to customize.
