55名中国消费者联名举报苹果公司，潮新闻对话当事人

Core Viewpoint - A group of 55 Chinese consumers has filed a complaint against Apple Inc. for alleged abuse of market dominance, claiming that Chinese consumers are denied the same payment and app acquisition options available to consumers in Europe and the U.S. [1][3] Group 1: Allegations Against Apple - The complaint accuses Apple of blocking Chinese consumers from using third-party payment channels and app stores, forcing them to pay a higher "Apple tax" of up to 30% compared to their counterparts in Europe and the U.S. [1][4] - The complaint highlights that Apple has not extended the recent U.S. and EU rulings that allow for third-party payment options to Chinese consumers, which constitutes national discrimination against them [4][5] Group 2: Desired Outcomes - The complainants seek to have Apple open up third-party payment channels for Chinese consumers, allowing developers to guide users to external platforms without incurring any fees [7] - They also demand that Apple permit app acquisition through channels other than the App Store and eliminate any associated fees for these alternative methods [7] Group 3: Legal Context - The complaint follows a previous antitrust lawsuit in which a Chinese consumer attempted to challenge the "Apple tax," which was dismissed by a lower court, and is now awaiting a decision from the Supreme People's Court [9] - The ongoing administrative complaint is also pending acceptance by the National Market Supervision Administration [3][9]
