Despite losing a previous appeal, Apple has now applied to the UK’s Court of Appeal over “guesswork” that means it is being fined $2 billion for App Store practices.

In November 2025, the UK’s Competition Appeals Tribunal (CAT) refused to grant Apple an appeal against CAT’s own order that it pay $2 billion to allegedly overcharged App Store users. According to The Guardian newspaper, Apple has now taken its next step, which is to apply to the UK’s separate Court of Appeal.
The case was originally brought against Apple by Dr Rachael Kent, who has now said that winning in October 2025 still felt “a bit pinch me.”
