Apple appeals App Store ruling to Supreme Court

Apple is once again seeking to appeal a court decision regarding its App Store policies, this time aiming for the Supreme Court. The tech giant is challenging a ruling that limited its ability to charge commissions on external payments made through apps. This legal battle stems from Epic Games' 2020 decision to implement external payment options to bypass Apple's standard fees. While Apple largely won an earlier antitrust case, a subsequent ruling found its 27% commission on external payments to be in contempt of court, a decision upheld by an appeals court. Apple argues its fees reflect the value of its ecosystem, but the outcome could significantly impact its App Store revenue.
