Apple has filed the first legal challenge against India's amended antitrust law, which allows penalties based on global turnover. The tech giant faces a potential $38 billion fine in an ongoing case involving app marketplace practices, arguing that such calculation methods are unconstitutional and disproportionate. The landmark case, scheduled for hearing on December 3, could set a precedent for how India penalizes tech companies for competition violations.
