Could You Be Due Compensation for Apple and Beats Products Purchased in the UK?

The claim alleges that Apple and Amazon entered into anti-competitive agreements which restricted third-party sellers from offering Apple and Beats products on Amazon. The case argues that these restrictions reduced competition and resulted in higher prices for consumers purchasing those products in the UK. 

You may be included if you purchased a new Apple or Beats product from a retailer in the UK between 31 October 2018 and 15 December 2025, outside of a mobile network operator contract, and were living in the UK at the time of purchase.  

If the claim proceeds as an opt-out action, eligible consumers would automatically be included unless they choose to opt out. 

This is an opt-out claim. This means you are automatically included in the group action, and could be due compensation, unless you say you don’t want to take part. A court-approved class representative brings the claim on behalf of the whole group, and specialist lawyers run the case in the interests of everyone included. Individual consumers are not assessed or contacted at this stage. Nevertheless, affected individuals will likely need to register to receive compensation when the claims site opens. 

No compensation amount has been determined at this stage. If the claim succeeds, the court will decide whether consumers paid higher prices and how compensation should be calculated. The amount any individual receives would depend on factors such as the products purchased and the court’s assessment of any overcharge. There is no guarantee of compensation.

At this stage, you do not need to take action for the claim to be considered. If the case is certified and later succeeds, there would usually be a process for eligible customers to register in order to receive any compensation awarded. You can register your interest to receive updates so you don’t miss important developments. 
 

A group action claim allows people affected by the same issue to take action together. This strength in numbers helps stand up to big organisations. Join the Claim helps connect people with law firms so these actions have a real impact.

Opt-out claims work differently to other types of legal action. If you are eligible, you are automatically included in the case unless you choose to opt out. There are no costs to be included in an opt-out claim. If the claim succeeds, deductions (if any) would be explained by the law firm responsible for distributing compensation.
