WASHINGTON : Apple said on Monday it will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its challenge to a judge's order in an antitrust case brought by"Fortnite" maker Epic Games that could force the iPhone maker to change payment practices in its App Store.
The judge's order said Apple could not prohibit developers from providing links and buttons to payment options in their apps that take consumers outside of the App Store - a step that could reduce sales commissions paid to Apple. In appeals to the 9th Circuit, Epic challenged key parts of the judge's ruling that favored Apple, while Apple challenged the order concerning the App Store. The 9th Circuit in April upheld most of the judge's action. On Friday, the 9th Circuit rejected petitions from Apple and Epic urging the court to revisit its April decision.Epic in its appeal to the 9th Circuit had sought to revive its antitrust claims against Apple over its restrictive app distribution and payment services.
