The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has reportedly given Apple a final warning after more than a year of delayed responses in an ongoing antitrust investigation. Here are the details.
As reported by Reuters, the CCI filed a confidential order on December 31, decrying what it described as Apple’s repeated requests for extensions in an antitrust investigation stemming from a 2022 complaint filed by Match and several Indian startups.
In 2024, Indian investigators concluded that Apple had engaged in abusive conduct in the iOS apps market, and asked the company to respond with objections and key financial details
Since then, both sides have been locked in a legal back-and-forth, which led to a stalemate over how the potential fine should be calculated.
As Reuters explains it: Apple has said it fears it could be fined up to $38 billion if India’s competition watchdog uses its global turnover calculation for penalties, after an investigation found it had abused its position on its app store. Apple, which denies the allegations, has challenged the penalty rules in an Indian court, and the matter is pending.
Following the challenge, Apple reportedly privately sought to pause the entire case until the matter was resolved, a request that the CCI rejected.

“uses its global turnover calculation for penalties”
Apple dug its own grave. When leftists like Apple self-immolate, I cannot even barely shrug about it.
global turnover calculation
HUH?
