Apple and Epic Games Battle Continues as Supreme Court Decision Looms

Apple has filed a petition with the Supreme Court, seeking to reverse a ruling that would require the company to open up its App Store to third-party payments. The ruling, which Epic Games had won in 2021, would allow app developers to offer alternative payment options and bypass Apple's fees. Apple argues that the injunction is unconstitutional and overly broad. If the Supreme Court decides to take up the case, the outcome could have significant implications for all developers and the App Store's business model. Epic Games has also asked the Supreme Court to reconsider part of the lower court's ruling in its antitrust lawsuit against Apple.
