Without dominance, there can be no abuse,\" Apple said in the submission dated Nov. 16 which was signed by its Chief Compliance Officer, Kyle Andeer.\n\"It has already been established that Google is the dominant player in India,\" it added.\nApple and the CCI did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for Alphabet Inc's Google declined to comment when asked about Apple's assertions in the filing.\nThe complainant in the case, a little-known non-profit group called \"Together We Fight Society\", said that Apple with iOS dominates the market for non-licensable mobile operating systems.\nApple countered that in its filing, saying the entire smartphone market - which includes licensable systems like Android - is the market that should be taken into consideration.\nApple also described the Indian complaint as a \"proxy filing\" in its CCI submission, saying that the complainant was \"likely acting in concert with parties with whom Apple has ongoing commercial and contractual disputes globally and/or that have complained to other regulators.\"\nThe U.S. tech company did not give any evidence in its submission to support its claim. The non-profit told Reuters that Apple's remark was \"made to prejudice the mind\" of the CCI \"without any iota of proof.\"\nIn the coming weeks, the CCI will review Apple's response to the allegations and could order a wider investigation or dismiss the case altogether if it finds no merit in it. Details of CCI investigations are not publicly disclosed.\nThe CCI is separately conducting an investigationin to Google's in-app payment system as part of a broader probe into the company after Indian startups last year voiced concern.\nApple's iOS powered about 2% of 520 million smartphones in India as of end-2020 with the rest using Android, according to Counterpoint Research, though it adds that Apple's smartphone base in the country has more than doubled in the last five years.\nGLOBAL ISSUE\nApple has been grappling with similar allegations in other parts of the world. In the United States, it is locked in a legal battle with \"Fornite\" creator Epic Games over the issue and South Korea this year became the first country to ban dominant app store operators from forcing developers to use their payment systems.\nIn the European Union, regulators last year started an investigation into Apple's in-app fees for distribution of paid digital content and other restrictions.\nCompanies like Apple and Google say their fees cover the security and marketing benefits their app stores provide.\nIn its CCI filing, Apple argued that the in-app commissions it charges are \"not unfair or excessive\" and have decreased over time, adding that it charges lower rates from small developers.\n\"Only a small number of large developers, many of which are multi-billion-dollar conglomerates, pay the headline rate of 30%,\" Apple said.\n\"Competing platforms have charged similar or higher commissions as Apple. Particularly, Google has charged a 30% commission on its app store,\" it said.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":693927150,"gmtCreate":1639963296901,"gmtModify":1639963297687,"author":{"id":"3573540190522229","authorId":"3573540190522229","name":"Bull_Lion","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/97c7d011186160cd333508e7d9191f74","vip":1,"crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Apple is abusing its insignificant market power🤣 the lawsuit is a joke","listText":"Apple is abusing its insignificant market power🤣 the lawsuit is a joke","text":"Apple is abusing its insignificant market power🤣 the lawsuit is a joke","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/693927150","repostId":2192390680,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":64,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":false,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.25.1","shortVersion":"4.25.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"laohu8","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2192390680"}
