Apple Asks Supreme Court to Reconsider Ruling Forcing Alternative Payments in App Store
-
Apple has asked the Supreme Court to reconsider a ruling that would force it to allow alternative payments in the App Store. Apple says this ruling is too broad.
-
The ruling came from Apple's legal battle with Epic Games. It would allow developers to point users to payment options outside the App Store.
-
Apple says the lower court ruling shouldn't apply to all app makers, just Epic. It says millions of developers would be impacted.
-
Epic also filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to revisit whether Apple's App Store violates antitrust laws. Lower courts sided with Apple.
-
While Epic won on alternative payments, Apple mostly won the lower court ruling. The antitrust allegations are Epic's core complaint.
