Egypt is coming for Apple.

According to a report in Bloomberg, one of the world's oldest civilizations has given the world's biggest tech giant 60 days to end what it says are unfair restrictions or face legal action.

The notice comes days after the country's competition regulator, the Egyptian Competition Authority, accused the California-based firm of violating local laws by blocking its regional distributors from selling to Egyptian distributors.

On Sunday, the authority abolished articles in the contracts signed between Apple and its product distributors because they contained exclusive distribution agreements.

These articles were in violation of the country's competition laws, and impeded intra-brand competition, the authority noted.

These agreements also banned the parallel imports of Apple products in the Egyptian market, the regulator said.

While the notice did not explicitly note the high price of Apple products in Egypt, it did state that the local market had in effect been isolated from the regional one by Apple, sending prices significantly higher than in other Arab nations.

And that is where it gets interesting for the Egyptian customer. A 512 GB iPhone Xs Max currently retails for $1,306 in the UAE.

In Egypt, it costs $1,983 in Egypt through an authorized Apple reseller.

Would this legal action help Egyptian customers get their iPhones for less?

We are in the "hope so" corner here.
