Apple has been hit with an antitrust accusation by the European Union over its exclusion of rivals from its Apple Pay mobile payment system. The EU sent Apple a formal \u201cStatement of Objections\u201d with the preliminary view that Apple has abused its dominant position in mobile wallets on iOS. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission takes issue with the decision by Apple to prevent mobile wallets app developers, from accessing the necessary hardware and software (\u2018NFC input\u2019) on its devices, to the benefit of its own solution, Apple Pay,\u201d reads the decision<\/a>. \u201cToday\u2019s Statement of Objections takes issue only with the access to NFC input by third-party developers of mobile wallets for payments in stores.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the EU, Apple\u2019s exclusionary behavior \u201cleads to less innovation and less choice for consumers for mobile wallets on iPhones.\u201d<\/p>\n
