Amazon & Apple

Apple and Amazon compensation claim: are you included?

Bought a new Apple or Beats product through Amazon in the UK between 31 October 2018 and 15 December 2025? You could be included in a claim for compensation.

Apple and Amazon are accused of striking a deal that restricted competition and caused shoppers to pay higher prices for Apple and Beats products bought through Amazon.

The Competition Appeal Tribunal has allowed the claim to go ahead. The Tribunal has not yet decided whether Apple or Amazon broke the law or whether compensation is due.

Who is included in the Apple and Amazon claim?

You’re likely to be included if you:

If you meet these eligibility rules and were living in the UK on 20 October 2026, you’re included automatically unless you choose to opt out.

Purchases from other retailers, including Apple Stores and Currys, are not included. Used or refurbished products are also excluded.

The claim is for individuals. Companies are not included, nor are people who sell Apple or Beats products as a business. Other exclusions may apply, including to Apple and Amazon employees and certain people involved in the case.

Apple and Beats products covered by the claim  

The claim covers new Apple and Beats electronic products, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple TVs, HomePods, Apple Watches, iPods, AirPods, EarPods and Beats headphones and earphones.

It also includes Apple-branded accessories such as chargers, cables, keyboards, mice, cases and Apple Pencils.

The products must have been bought through Amazon’s UK marketplace during the claim period.

What is the Apple and Amazon claim about?

The claim alleges that agreements between Apple and Amazon restricted third-party sellers from reselling Apple and Beats products on Amazon’s UK marketplace.

It says this reduced competition and meant shoppers paid more for those products than they should have. The claim seeks at least £112 million in compensation, excluding interest, for affected consumers.

JLP A&A Class Representative Limited, led by Justin Le Patourel, a former senior Ofcom official, is bringing the claim on behalf of eligible consumers. The law firm Hausfeld & Co. LLP is representing the claim. There is no cost to be included in the claim.

Do you need to claim compensation?

You don’t need to register or make a claim now. If you meet the eligibility rules and were living in the UK on 20 October 2026, you’re included automatically.

If you stay in the claim, you’ll be bound by the Tribunal’s decisions and won’t be able to bring a separate claim against Apple and Amazon over the same issues.

If you want to opt out, you must do so by 27 January 2027. If you were living outside the UK on 20 October 2026 and meet the other eligibility rules, you must opt in by the same date to join the claim.
