On December 1, 2025, India's antitrust regulatory body announced that Apple is attempting to stall its antitrust litigation by contesting the nation's antitrust fine - related laws. In the previous month, Apple raised doubts about an Indian law. This law permits regulatory authorities to factor in a company's global revenue when computing fines. Under this legislation, Apple might be slapped with fines amounting to as much as $38 billion.
The genesis of this case can be traced back to allegations made by Match, the parent company of Tinder, along with Indian start - ups, dating back to 2022. These entities accused Apple of engaging in "abusive practices" within the iOS app market. After conducting an investigation, the Competition Commission of India has not yet issued a definitive ruling.
