European Commission launches two investigations into Apple

The European Commission launched two investigations at once against Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). The corporation is suspected of violating European antitrust and competition rules.

The first case concerns the fact that the contactless payment module installed on "IPhones" and "Aypadah", can only be used with the Apple Pay system, while the company puts forward conditions for the use of this system to stores and sites.

In a statement, the European Commission emphasizes that amid the pandemic and quarantine, the absence of restrictions on contactless payments has become an extremely important factor..

Brussels will also investigate whether the App Store rules are compliant. Developers have repeatedly complained that Apple is using this platform to suppress competition and promote its own products, while virtually preventing users from purchasing apps through other stores..
