Apple Agrees to Submit India Financials in Ongoing Antitrust Investigation
Apple has agreed to submit its India-specific financial data to the Competition Commission of India (CCI) amid an ongoing antitrust investigation that found the company abused its dominant position in the iPhone apps market. The case, a significant regulatory challenge for Apple in India, where iPhone's market share has grown from 2% to 9% over five years, had been delayed due to Apple's refusal to share financial details. Apple denies wrongdoing and plans to contest the findings, while the CCI granted a final extension until June 25 for the submission.
