Apple Loses Bid to Pause App Store Reform Order in Epic Games Case
Briefly

On Wednesday, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals denied Apple's request to pause a federal judge's order that requires the company to allow more competition in its App Store. This decision stems from a long-standing antitrust lawsuit initiated by Epic Games. The ruling mandates Apple to stop several practices, including a 27% fee on outside app purchases. Epic Games declared this decision liberates developers from the so-called 'Apple tax,' asserting that competition has surged since the initial injunction in April.
Apple expressed disappointment over the appeals court's decision to not stay a federal ruling, which mandates a significant change to its App Store practices.
Epic Games' CEO proclaimed the end of the 'Apple tax,' highlighting competition's rise since the April injunction, which challenges Apple's policies.
