Apple plans Supreme Court appeal in Epic Games App Store battle — again

What Happened

Apple plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding its ongoing battle with Epic Games over App Store external payment fees. A lower court found Apple in contempt for charging developers a 27% commission on external payments, ruling it violated a court order requiring payment linking. Apple argues the fee reflects ecosystem value, not payment processing costs. The Supreme Court previously declined to hear Apple's first appeal in this case. Epic Games called the motion a delay tactic.
