CTOnews.com, July 25 (Reuters)-more than 1500 developers in the UK have filed a class action lawsuit against Apple's App Store for "unfair" behavior, demanding a compensation of 785 million pounds (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 7.238 billion yuan).

The class action lawsuit, filed by Sean Ennis on behalf of 1566 developers, alleges that Apple monopolized the distribution of apps on the App Store. Ennis is a professor at the Center for Competition Policy at the University of East Anglia and a former OECD economist.

Ennis shared a statement with Reuters, with CTOnews.com translated as follows: "Apple monopolizes the distribution of apps on iPhone and iPad, resulting in excessive fees for app developers. These fees themselves are unfair and constitute abuse of pricing. They hurt app developers and app buyers."
