US-based Apple has asked the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to quash a case claiming that the tech titan abused its dominance of the country’s app market, according to a Reuters report.
In its response to CCI, Apple pointed out that it holds only up to 5% of India’s app market while Google’s share is at over 90% share. “Without dominance, there can be no abuse,” Apple said.
A nonprofit organization Together We Fight Society had taken Apple to court for charging commissions of up to 30% on in-app purchases from developers.
Fellow tech giant Google had faced similar charges in India last year.
