7月19日下午消息,近日,美国一些用户发起针对苹果公司的集体诉讼,指控苹果公司违反了美国反垄断法,主要因iPhone,iPad或Apple Watch上,只能用Apple Pay 唯一一种移动支付手段进行支付。
此次,是由律师事务所Hagens Berman和Sperling & Slater等律师事务所共同提起诉讼。声称苹果公司通过阻止竞争对手在其设备上使用NFC近场通讯功能,从而阻止像Google Pay、Samsung Pay这类等竞争软件在苹果设备提供移动支付服务,而且通过这种方式,每年“非法获利”至少10亿美元。
起诉书称,用美国发行的银行卡在Apple Pay完成的每笔交易,发卡机构都必须向苹果公司支付0.15%的信用卡费用和0.5%的借记卡费用。相比之下,谷歌允许在Android智能手机上使用多个移动钱包,并且不会向美国发卡机构收取费用。
“将Apple Pay与其他在安卓设备上可用的移动钱包(如Google Pay,Samsung Pay)的功能进行比较,就像是照镜子,功能是相同的,“哈根斯·伯曼(Hagens Berman)律所联合创始人兼管理合伙人史蒂夫·伯曼(Steve Berman)说,“但是,使用安卓上的移动钱包,发卡机构不必支付任何费用,而通过Apple Pay,他们每年要花费总计10亿美元。”
起诉书称,如果Apple Pay服务在苹果设备上加入其他竞争对手,苹果将无法维持其通过Apple Pay获得的大量收入。
本诉讼在加州北部的美国地方法院提起,具体的内容是,指控苹果公司多次违反《联邦谢尔曼法案》,将Apple Pay“捆绑”到其移动设备上,并且垄断了iOS的移动支付市场。
此次诉讼要求免除在使用Apple Pay时所有发卡机构向苹果公司支付的费用。
伯曼表示,这是苹果公司第三次因为违反反垄断法而被起诉。2015年,该律师事务所就电子书定价问题与苹果公司和出版公司达成了5.6亿美元的和解协议,今年年初,该律师事务所代表iOS的应用开发者与苹果公司达成了1亿美元的和解协议,开发者表示苹果公司当时的规则是应用商店要收取30%的抽成,这样的数字过高了。
Apple Pay在其他地区也面临类似的审查,其中包括澳大利亚和欧洲。今年5月,欧盟委员会向苹果公司通报了其初步的看法,即认为,苹果公司通过限制苹果设备上的NFC技术功能限制其他支付方式,滥用了其在iOS设备的移动支付市场上的主导地位。
近几年,反大公司垄断的风潮一直持续,苹果因其封闭的生态环境尤其被关注。从App Store的“侧载”,到30%的抽成问题,以及今天的Apple Pay支付。几乎每个环节都有被起诉的风险,苹果也正在通过变通的手段改进这些问题。
