The European Union is going full speed ahead on its antitrust case against Apple, with the crux of the litigation focusing on how the company limits the use of its hardware for third-parties. Apple Pay, the EU says, shouldn’t be the only software allowed to use the iPhone’s built-in tap-to-pay technology.
The European Commission says it has sent Apple a list of objections related to the ongoing case. The governing body dates the beginning of Apple’s anticompetitive practices to 2015 when it first launched Apple Pay. The company could face a fine of up to 10 percent of its global revenue in this case.
