Our Reading

The launch follows a familiar script.

Apple is taking its App Store fight to the Supreme Court, because that’s exactly what you do when you’re a trillion-dollar company and someone tells you no. Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, has been challenging Apple’s fees for a while now. Apple wants to keep charging those fees, because why not? It’s not like they’re hurting for cash. The company is essentially saying, “Hey, we’ve been doing this for years, and we don’t see why we should stop now.”
