"Justice Elena Kagan denied Apple's emergency stay application on behalf of the court, signaling that the request was not a close call and leaving the Ninth Circuit's contempt finding in place."
"The substantive question in the ongoing dispute is what commission, if any, Apple can lawfully charge on payments made through external links inside iOS apps, with the judge's order barring any fees on third-party storefronts."
"Apple had been charging a 27 percent commission on external-link payments, which was three percentage points lower than the standard App Store rate, but has not charged any commission for nearly a year due to the contempt ruling."
Justice Elena Kagan denied Apple's emergency stay application, which prevents the company from pausing a lower-court order that found it in contempt. The case revolves around what commission Apple can charge on external-link app purchases. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Apple had willfully failed to comply with anti-steering injunctions. The Ninth Circuit upheld this ruling, rejecting Apple's request to pause the contempt order while seeking Supreme Court review. Apple has not charged commissions on external-link payments for nearly a year due to this ruling.
