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.

Claim window

Ongoing opt-in registration for a pending collective action; no announced registration cutoff as of assessment date. This is a multi-year litigation track, not a near-term settlement claims window — set expectations accordingly.

Estimated payout

Damages pending judicial/economic assessment; foundations estimate ~€637M for Dutch users within a broader ~€5bn EU-wide overcharge claim. No individual per-consumer amount exists yet — case is pending a merits hearing, outcome not guaranteed.
