据报道，苹果和《堡垒之夜》的开发商Epic游戏公司双双要求法庭重新考虑其反垄断裁决。4月，美国 一家上诉法庭作出一项裁决，要求苹果不得不允许各个开发公司的应用程序中放置链接，但并未反对 App Store的"苹果税"。 据报道，接受此案上诉的是位于加州旧金山的美国第九巡回上诉法庭，苹果和Epic在周三同时提交了独 立的法庭文件，对于该法庭三人法官小组做出的裁决发起了挑战。 两家公司的律师团均要求，要么三人法官小组重新审理上诉，要么上诉法庭应该让所有的法官（即组成 一个11名法官的小组）来审理案件。 苹果和Epic的诉讼由来已久，涉及到了苹果应用商店中对开发者收入的三成佣金。而在2021年，美国加 州的一家联邦地方法庭做出裁决，认为苹果要求软件开发商提供三成销售收入的佣金是非法行为。而上 诉法庭的三人法官小组，维持了这一基层法庭的判决。 据报道，美国联邦上诉法庭历来很少会满足"全体法官参加审理"的要求。去年，美国第九巡回上诉法庭 一共收到了646项请求，当事人要求所有法官集体出面，审理上诉案件，但是该法庭一共只满足了其中 的12项请求。而在2021年，这一上诉法庭出动全体法官审理的上诉案件只有9宗。 对于这一旷 ...

Core Viewpoint - A recent whistleblower letter accusing Apple of abusing its market dominance has gained significant attention, with potential implications for antitrust investigations in China [1][2]. Group 1: Whistleblower Details - The whistleblower letter was initiated by 55 Chinese consumers, led by lawyers Tian Junwei and Wang Qiongfei, who allege that Apple restricts app distribution and payment channels while charging high commissions [2][3]. - The letter claims that Chinese consumers are denied the same payment options available in Europe and the U.S., being forced to pay a commission of up to 30%, known as the "Apple Tax" [3][15]. - Tian Junwei expressed optimism about the investigation's prospects, suggesting that a formal inquiry into Apple's practices is only a matter of time [2][14]. Group 2: Legal Context and Previous Complaints - This is not the first complaint against Apple; earlier this year, a group of consumers accused Apple of forcing users to use a specific payment method, which led to a court ruling recognizing Apple's market dominance but not its alleged abuse of that position [4][6]. - The legal challenges faced by consumers are compounded by Apple's complex jurisdictional strategies, which often make it difficult for Chinese consumers to pursue claims against the company [10][12]. Group 3: Potential Financial Implications - If an antitrust investigation is initiated and Apple is found guilty, it could face fines ranging from $669.52 million to $33.476 billion, based on its sales revenue in China [18][19]. - The potential fines could be significantly higher if the investigation finds that Apple's actions are particularly egregious, as it has faced similar penalties in other countries without changing its practices in China [19]. Group 4: Broader Industry Context - Other countries, including those in the EU and the U.S., have already taken steps to regulate the "Apple Tax," allowing developers to use external payment methods and reducing commission rates [15][16]. - The ongoing situation highlights a perceived arrogance from Apple in its dealings with global regulators, as it has not made concessions in the Chinese market despite pressure from developers and consumers [16].
