Stories of Apple and Epic Games going after each other might have slowed since the days when the pair seemed to be in court every other week, but the battles of the App Store and its rules still rage on. It seems like forever since Fortnite was kicked out of the App Store, but the pair are heading back to court next month. And yes, it's all about the App Store once more.
This news comes after Epic argued that Apple is violating an anti-steering injunction that came into force in January 2024 after it was ordered as part of California's Unfair Competition Law back in September of 2021. Epic says that the way Apple restricts how developers can inform their users of alternative payment options is unfair, while it says the same about the way Apple still charges a commission for sales made outside of its payment options. And it turns out that a judge might agree.
