IPhone and iPad maker Apple Inc has come under the scanner of the Competition Commission of India for allegedly limiting the availability of its products to a few service providers using its dominant market position. A customer has filed a complaint before the Commission under Section 4 of the Competition Act that Apple is curbing the customer's choice by limiting the availability of iPhones and iPads in India to a limited number of service providers, besides its signature stores. At present, iPhone's latest version is available in India through Aircel and Bharti airtel, while the iPads are sold through Apple store only. An Apple official when contacted declined to comment.
