Summary
Apple is appealing to the US Supreme Court to modify the App Store injunction won by Epic Games and reverse the contempt ruling related to external payment fees. The original ruling found Apple in violation of California’s anti-steering laws. Epic Games had challenged Apple’s 30% commission on in-app purchases. The appeal aims to narrow the scope of the injunction and overturn the contempt ruling.
