苹果公司就英国反垄断诉讼中20亿英镑罚款提起上诉
内容总结：
苹果公司近日就英国反垄断诉讼中的20亿美元巨额罚款，向英国上诉法院正式提起上诉，试图推翻此前竞争上诉法庭（CAT）的裁决。这场法律纠纷的核心在于苹果App Store的收费政策是否构成市场垄断。
此次上诉是苹果对CAT去年10月裁决的最新回应。该裁决认定苹果利用其在App Store市场的主导地位收取过高费用，构成反竞争行为，并处以约15亿英镑（折合20亿美元）罚款。苹果曾辩称法庭对"充满活力且竞争激烈的应用经济存在错误认知"，但其上诉请求此前未获CAT批准，故而转向更高层级的法院寻求翻案。
据《卫报》报道，苹果虽未对最新上诉发表正式声明，但预计将重点质疑CAT提出的15%-20%开发者费率标准——该标准被苹果指责为"基于推测得出"，而现行费率为30%。若最终维持原判，这笔罚款将分配给2015年至2024年间在英国App Store进行过消费的所有用户。
本案的后续进展，不仅关系到英国数百万苹果用户的潜在权益，也可能对全球应用商店生态的监管产生深远影响。

苹果公司就英国反垄断诉讼中20亿美元罚款提出上诉，将案件提交至英国上诉法院审理。这家科技巨头正针对应用商店收费相关判决寻求更高层级的司法复核。
苹果公司拒绝向英国应用商店用户支付数十亿英镑罚款，并就一起重大反垄断诉讼正式提起上诉。据《卫报》独家披露，苹果已向英国上诉法院提交申请，此举将使案件脱离竞争上诉法庭的管辖范畴。
此次上诉源于竞争上诉法庭去年10月的裁决，该法庭认定苹果利用应用商店市场支配地位收取过高费用，构成反竞争行为。法庭判决苹果支付15亿英镑（约合20亿美元）罚款，但苹果当即表示将上诉，并指责法庭"对蓬勃发展的竞争性应用经济存在认知缺陷"。由于竞争上诉法庭未批准上诉请求，这家iPhone制造商转而寻求上级法院撤销原判。
苹果尚未就最新上诉申请发表官方声明，但预计将重点反驳竞争上诉法庭通过"经验性推测"设定的15%-20%应用商店开发者费率——该比例显著低于现行30%的抽成标准。据《卫报》测算，若最终维持原判，这笔20亿美元罚款将分配给2015年至2024年间所有在英进行过应用商店消费的用户。

Apple escalates its appeal of a $2 billion fine from a UK antitrust lawsuit
The tech giant has filed an appeal with the UK's Court of Appeal to address a legal case about App Store fees.
Apple isn't ready to pay a several billion-dollar fine to UK App Store users and is filing an appeal over a major antitrust lawsuit. As first reported by The Guardian, Apple has requested to appeal to the UK's Court of Appeal, which would escalate the case beyond the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT).
The latest appeal attempt follows an October decision from the CAT, where the court found that Apple engaged in anticompetitive practices by exploiting its dominant market position with the App Store to charge higher fees. The CAT's ruling established a £1.5 billion, or roughly $2 billion, fine, but Apple said it planned to appeal and that the court "takes a flawed view of the thriving and competitive app economy." The CAT didn't grant Apple the appeal, leading the iPhone maker to seek a higher court to overturn the ruling.
Apple hasn't made any official statements about its latest appeal application, but it's likely that it will argue against the CAT's proposed App Store developer fee rate of between 15 and 20 percent, which it reached through "informed guesswork," instead of the existing 30 percent. If the fine does ultimately stick, the $2 billion fine would be split amongst any App Store user in the UK who made purchases between 2015 and 2024, according to The Guardian.
