India's antitrust watchdog has concluded that Apple abused its dominant position in the iOS app store market, according to a confidential report seen by Reuters, marking a significant development in the country's scrutiny of tech giants. The Competition Commission of India, which initiated an investigation into Apple in 2021, has determined that the company engaged in "abusive conduct and practices" by compelling developers to utilize its proprietary in-app purchase system, Reuters added.
