Epic Games is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reject Apple’s latest attempt to challenge two rulings in its long-running legal fight over off-App-Store purchases. Here are the details.
A bit of context
Last month, Apple filed a request with the U.S. Supreme Court in an attempt to reverse two lower court rulings on the App Store injunction in its long-running legal battle with Epic Games.
One ruling concerns the civil contempt finding that held Apple violated the injunction. Back in 2021, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers told Apple to allow developers to steer users to off-App Store purchases.
Apple, in turn, applied a 27% commission to these transactions, alongside restrictions that included how buttons could look like, and what became known as the “scare screen” that warned users about the dangers of making off-App Store purchases.
