The percentage that Apple keeps from all purchases made in the App Store, is gradually becoming a little big problem for Tim Cook's company. But not only because of the percentage, but also because it is the only way to offer applications on this platform.
The last company that has moved a file and has filed a lawsuit against Apple in the European Union regarding its policies is Telegram, the messaging application with more than 400 million monthly active users and that adds to the one previously presented Spotify y Rakuten.
According to the Financial Times, who has had access to the lawsuit filed by Telegram, it states that Apple must allow users have the opportunity to download software from outside the App Store.
Google is never included in these lawsuits, because despite having the same rate as Apple, DOES allow to install applications from other application stores or repositories.
Financial Times states that Telegram's complaint comes from 2016, when Apple prevented him from launching a gaming platform in the App Store because it considered that it violated the rules of the application store.
Telegram was forced to abandon the idea to prevent its application from being removed from the App Store. From Telegram they affirm that this is a clear example of the Apple's ability to curb innovation thanks to its monopolizing power in the app market.
This new antitrust lawsuit against Apple is completely independent of the investigation that is being carried out in the United States, but if the European Union forces Apple to allow other stores to reach its platform, this measure will probably apply worldwide.
