Update: Apple shares extended their losses after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that consumers can press ahead with a lawsuit that accuses Apple of using its market dominance to artificially inflate prices at its App Store.
Bloomberg reports that the 5-4 ruling could add to pressure the company faces to cut the 30 percent commission it charges on app sales. Lawyers pressing the case have said they will seek hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of overpaying consumers.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the court’s liberal wing in the majority.
