Apple US0378331005

While Apple’s stock continues to reach new heights, significant regulatory challenges are emerging that could potentially impact its financial standing. Investors celebrating the iPhone maker’s market performance may be overlooking substantial legal threats developing across multiple jurisdictions.

India represents one of the most immediate concerns for the technology giant. Apple is currently engaged in a high-stakes legal confrontation with the Competition Commission of India (CCI), facing a potential penalty that could reach $38 billion. The central dispute involves the methodology for calculating fines, with Indian authorities seeking to base penalties on Apple’s global revenue rather than just its earnings within India.
