US approves anti-trust lawsuit against Apple’s App Store policies

US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has ruled that a major antitrust lawsuit against Apple regarding its App Store policies can proceed. The lawsuit, brought by iPhone users, accuses Apple of monopolising the iOS app market. The judge initially refused to certify the class action but changed her decision after the plaintiffs narrowed the proposed class. The lawsuit will now include Apple account holders who spent at least $10 on apps or in-app purchases. The ruling also rejected Apple's attempt to exclude expert witness testimony from two economists.
