❗️A UK class action is seeking £2bn from Apple over its tracking prompts.

Since 2021 apps must ask permission before tracking Apple users — but those rules were less strict for Apple's own apps, says Hausfeld, which filed the claim on 3 September for thousands of UK developers. Apple denies any double standard.

Apple says it is "bound by the exact same requirements as all developers".
