Which? responds to the news that the Competition and Markets Authority will investigate Apple and Google's mobile ecosystems

Rocio Concha, Which? Director of Policy and Advocacy, said:

"It's welcome to see the Competition and Markets Authority using the powers that it was recently given by Parliament to tackle long-standing issues in the tech sector. 

 

"The CMA's work has clearly shown that the dominance of Apple and Google in app stores, operating systems and web browsers on mobiles has been bad for business. It will likely have led to consumers missing out on new innovations, having less choice, and ultimately facing higher prices.

 

"Fairer and more competitive markets don’t just benefit consumers and businesses, but they also boost innovation and economic growth."
