KEILAR: A major supreme court ruling against Apple today. The court is allowing iPhone owners to continue their class action lawsuit against the tech giant over its high app prices. This lawsuit claims Apple's App Store is violating anti-trust laws and operating as an illegal monopoly by encouraging app developers to raise their prices so that it can take a 30 percent cut. We have CNN tech reporter Brian Fung joining us now to talk about this. How did the Supreme Court reach this decision and what kind of implications could this have?</s>BRIAN FUNG, CNN TECH REPORTER: Well, the Supreme Court said it didn't agree with Apple's argument that it's simply an intermediary. The court said when iPhone users buy an app on the App Store, they have a direct purchasing relationship with Apple. And that means that the iPhone owners who are at the center of this lawsuit can sue Apple for allegedly monopolistic behavior. Now, it's important to point here that the Supreme Court didn't hold that Apple as a monopolist. It's just saying that this suit is allowed to go forward.</s>KEILAR: And so it can go -- so what is the next step? What are we going to see?</s>FUNG: Well, I think we can see a lot of back and forth in the courts over whether or not what the iPhone owners have alleged is actually correct that Apple is allegedly, you know, keeping its prices artificially high because it has a lock on the IOS App Store.</s>KEILAR: All right, Brian, thank you so much. We're going to keep watching this. It seems like it's going to continue to be an issue and they really have a shot here. Brian Fung, thank you.
