Epic Games has asked the US Supreme Court to review a ruling from 2021 that cleared Apple of violating antitrust laws, according to a Bloomberg<\/ins><\/em><\/a><\/em>report. The Fortnite<\/ins><\/em> maker previously claimed<\/ins><\/a> that Apple violated California's Unfair Competition law, stating that the App Store prohibits developers from directing users to other third-party payment systems. The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the 2021 court\u2019s decision<\/ins><\/a> back in April, finding that Apple\u2019s practices had \u201ca substantial anticompetitive effect that harms consumers,\u201d but didn\u2019t meet the bar for an antitrust case.<\/p>\n

Should Epic win its appeal, Apple could stand to lose a substantial source of revenue. The company takes a cut of all purchases made through its App Store, which can run as high as 30 percent. Epic Games has been the loudest voice protesting this cut, though other companies like Spotify and Tile are also part of the Coalition for App Fairness<\/ins><\/a>, which has been pressuring Apple to change its policies. Outside of the US, Epic and its peers have had more success in changing the status quo: Authorities in both South Korea<\/ins><\/a> and the Netherlands<\/ins><\/a> have ruled that Apple must allow third-party payments, though Apple is still taking a considerable cut as a \u201ctransaction fee.\u201d Apple is also rumored to be preparing support for third-party app stores<\/ins><\/a> in response to the European Union\u2019s Digital Markets Act.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/em> says the Supreme Court could decide if it will take up the case before the end of the year. In the meantime, Fortnite<\/em> is still not available on the App Store<\/ins><\/a>. It\u2019s been absent since August 2020<\/ins><\/a>, when Apple banned the game after Epic added alternative payment methods to bypass the App Store cut.<\/p>\n

Epic is also in a legal battle with Google for similar practices<\/ins><\/a>. Both Epic and the Match Group, which operates dating apps like Hinge and Tinder, are alleging that Google abuses its control of Android app distribution through the Play Store by establishing unfair fees and requirements for in-app purchases. That trial is supposed to kick off in the next few weeks<\/ins><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
