The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeals of both Epic Games and Apple in the pair's long-running App Store feud, meaning an appeals court ruling will stand against Apple.
As reported by Bloomberg, Supreme Court justices “turned down both appeals without explanation.” Bloomberg notes the decision “will likely affect billions of dollars in revenue” for Apple, and shares have dipped in the early trading following the news. However, the news is as much of a loss, if not more, for Epic Games. The original court in the case ruled against the Fortnite maker on nine out of the 10 counts and ruled against Apple on only one count. As such, Epic Games stood to gain a lot more from any such appeal.
