In a significant legal victory for Apple, a federal judge in Oakland, California, has decertified a class action lawsuit brought by tens of millions of customers. The lawsuit accused Apple of monopolizing the market for iPhone apps through its App Store policies, allegedly leading to inflated prices for consumers. The judge reversed a previous decision to grant class-action status, stating the plaintiffs did not provide a reliable model to show class-wide injury and damages. This ruling is a major setback for the plaintiffs and eases a substantial legal threat that has been looming over Apple for years. The case centered on the core of Apple's lucrative App Store business model, which has faced increasing scrutiny from developers and regulators worldwide. While this does not end the legal challenges against its App Store, it dismantles a massive consumer lawsuit that could have resulted in significant damages.
