Rave, a Canadian app developer, has initiated an antitrust lawsuit against Apple in a New Jersey federal court, claiming that the removal of its app from the App Store was a strategic move to suppress competition and promote Apple's own SharePlay feature. Rave argues that this action denied users access to a popular product and limited their ability to enjoy cross-platform viewing experiences. The lawsuit seeks both the reinstatement of the app and damages amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. Rave contends that Apple removed the app in 2025, citing allegations of 'dishonest or fraudulent activity,' but Rave believes the decision was primarily motivated by competition concerns following the introduction of SharePlay in 2021. Apple has countered these claims, stating that the app was removed due to repeated violations of App Store guidelines, including issues related to hosting inappropriate content. Rave's CEO, Michael Pazaratz, emphasized that Apple's actions have significantly harmed consumers by limiting their choices and disrupting user communities. This lawsuit adds to Apple's ongoing legal battles regarding its App Store practices, which also include a notable dispute with Epic Games. Rave has filed similar lawsuits in Canada, Russia, the Netherlands, and Brazil, while its app remains accessible on Android and Windows platforms as the legal proceedings unfold.
