Apple says Indian antitrust investigators just “copy-pastes” its rivals’ claims without properly conducting its own investigation in an ongoing anti-competition battle, according to Reuters.
The tech giant wants the findings to be quashed and regulatory papers reviewed, the article notes. This is part of an ongoing battle between Apple and the Competition Commission of India (CCI), where Tinder-owner Match and Indian startups are among its opponents.
In April Apple accused the antitrust body of exceeding its powers by pushing the tech giant to submit its financials in an antitrust case related to its App Store. The CCI has been investigating Apple since 2021 for allegedly abusing its dominant position in the apps market by forcing developers to use its proprietary in-app purchase system. The tech giant has denied wrongdoing saying it was a small player in India where phones that use Google’s Android system are dominant. Apple had asked for the investigative report to be put on hold, but was denied.
