Apple’s Contempt Appeal in Epic Case Denied

Apple has lost its appeal against a district court ruling in its antitrust case with Epic Games, which found that Apple had not complied with a 2021 order allowing developers to link to external payment options. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ruling’s findings, allowing restrictions on Apple but suggested reconsidering the ban on all commissions. The court noted that Apple had imposed barriers to discourage external payments, while also calling for reasonable fees for such transactions. Both companies did not comment immediately on the ruling.
