U.S. Court Blocks Apple’s Bid to Delay App Store Fee Ruling
A U.S. appeals court has denied Apple's request to postpone a ruling that prohibits the company from charging fees on external payments linked within apps. The decision compels Apple to permit developers to guide users to alternative payment methods without incurring commissions. This development emerges from Apple's protracted legal dispute with Epic Games regarding App Store practices.
Major app developers are already adjusting their applications to adhere to the new requirements, while Apple remains determined to contest the ruling. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a succinct statement, asserting that no justification existed to grant Apple's stay request. The tech giant must now comply with the lower court's order without delay.
