Supreme Court Denies Epic's Bid to Change Apple App Store Rules

The US Supreme Court has denied Epic Games' request to lift a decision by the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals that delayed the implementation of an injunction against Apple's App Store rules. The injunction, issued by a federal judge, would have required Apple to change its payment practices in the App Store. Epic Games had filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, accusing the company of acting as an illegal monopolist. While the lawsuit was rejected, the judge found that Apple violated California's unfair competition law. Apple argued that the injunction would limit its ability to protect users from fraud and objectionable content.
