Before, the lower court was in favor of Apple with its claim against the complaints about the company monopolizing the app market. The Cupertino-based company's reason is that people are transacting directly with the developers and not with the company. This, however, recently changed and people can try suing Apple once more.

According to a recent report from 9to5Mac, the ruling regarding Apple's immunity from the complaints are reversed. The allegations regarding the monopoly of the app industry has become a big concern for Apple once more, though the company hasn't made any official statement yet.

The case was originally filed against Apple back in 2012, where its practice of exclusively allowing apps from the official AppStore from being purchased. There are no third party sites capable of selling their own software for iOS users. This leads to no competition and more expensive purchases.

On the flipside, Apple claims that through this type of closed ecosystem, providing security protection is more streamlined and tends to be more reliable. Compatibility issues are also minimized as Apple only needs to obtain collated reports from a single source.

However, the case filed just recently isn't exactly about Apple doing the monopolizing, but rather just a ruling about people gaining the rights to sue Apple and this happens to be already reached, letting the previous case resume.

According to what Reuters had been told by an attorney involved with the case, the cause for the campaign is to open up the potential market for other App developers and to also gain access to more affordable options. Apps from the AppStore are normally expensive and a huge factor to consider here is Apple's 30 percent cut from each purchase.

Law firms also suggests another possibility of getting these issues fixed by having Apple pay the damages for "higher than competitive prices." There's no set schedule yet for the final decision regarding the case, but the previous ruling will help put an end to all these issues once and for all.
