    NewsBytes Briefing: Russia orders Apple to stop its 'power abuse'
  • In the updates since last night, Russia's competition watchdog slammed Apple for abusing its App Store dominance by requiring third-party developers to distribute apps through the marketplace and then blocking them unlawfully.

    The Federal Antimonopoly Service ordered the Cupertino giant to stop this practice after completing a year-long App Store investigation.

    Apple says it will appeal the ruling.

    Here are other updates.
