India Warns Apple It Will Proceed with Antitrust Case After Company Plays for Time
The Competition Commission of India warned Apple it will move forward after over a year of delays and refusals to comply with investigation requests, citing procedural disruption.
- The Competition Commission of India issued a final warning to Apple, stating it will proceed unilaterally if no response is received by next week after delays in the antitrust case.
- Originating from a 2022 complaint by Match and several Indian startups, the CCI said it asked Apple in October 2024 for objections and financials, but repeated extensions undermined procedural discipline.
- The company denies the allegations and has taken the penalty rules to court, while Apple privately sought to pause the case, a request the CCI rejected.
- Investigators' 2024 findings left a stalemate over how penalties would be calculated, with Indian investigators concluding Apple engaged in abusive conduct and the company fearing fines up to $38 billion using the global-turnover calculation.
- Judges are scheduled to hear Apple's court challenge on January 27, and Apple says it will await that hearing before responding while the Competition Commission of India warns of unilateral action next week.
