European Apple Claim — App Store/in-app purchase overcharge (Dutch collective action)

A Dutch WAMCA collective action (two foundations, cleared by the CJEU to proceed) alleges Apple overcharged EU consumers roughly €5bn through App Store commissions; consumers can register at no cost for a share of any eventual damages.
