<p>Apple is facing another anticompetitive complaint, this time filed by Rakuten who owns the Kobo ebook brand (https://amzn.to/37vIhZM). The Financial Times reports (https://www.ft.com/content/9c847838-ca25-43cf-a962-0d3588d8d34d) that Kobo is filing a formal complaint that it cannot fairly compete against Apple Books in the App Store while it is subjected to sharing 30% of revenue from purchases made in the Kobo app (https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/kobo-books/id301259483).</p>
<p>Kobo is currently forced to sell all of its content through its website to avoid paying Apple 30% of revenues. This means customers cannot conveniently buy books inside of the app itself.</p>
