Apple and Epic Games will face another trial in court. A hearing will be held on May 8, during which Epic Games will try to prove that Apple violated the court order.

Apple continues to fight Epic Games. She asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the verdict issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Neither Applenor Epic Games did not suit made in April, the decision of the court of Appeal in the United States. Both companies filed a new appeal.

The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the court’s decision in the case of Epic Games and Apple, issued in September 2021. He refused to satisfy the Fortnite developer 9 out of 10 charges and did not consider Apple a monopolist.

On November 14, an appeal hearing was held in the case of Epic Games and Apple. Both companies tried to refute the court’s decision made last September

In two months, a new hearing will take place in the scope of the proceedings between Epic Games and Apple. The companies will have 20 minutes each to protest the court decision made a year ago.

Epic Games has gained new allies in the proceedings with Apple. The attorneys general of 35 American states sided with Tim Sweeney‘s company. They demanded that the court reconsider the verdict in the case and recognize Apple as a monopolist.

Apple managed to appeal the verdict in the Epic Games trial the day before it took effect. Yesterday, the Court of Appeal upheld Tim Cook‘s company and suspended the execution of the previous court’s decision. It is assumed that it may take about a year to review the case.

Apple has a backup plan on how not to lose money if it cannot reject the court’s decision in the proceedings with Epic Games. The company is thinking about taking a commission on all in—app purchases – it doesn’t matter if they are made through its payment system or bypassed.

Apple was unable to appeal the verdict of the court in the case with Epic Games and postpone the relaxation of the App Store rules. The court rejected the company’s appeal and recalled that links to other payment methods should still be available in applications from December 9.

A month ago, Apple doubted whether it should appeal the verdict of the court in the case with Epic Games. But last Friday, the company decided and filed an appeal. According to experts, the proceedings can drag on for years.

Tim Sweeney said that Apple has blacklisted the Fortnite game in its ecosystem. Battle Royale will stay there until the court hears all appeals in the Epic Games case. It may take about five years.

While Epic Games is preparing to appeal the court’s decision on the lawsuit against Apple, Apple itself has not decided what to do. The company said it was still considering whether or not to appeal.

The Fortnite developer is not going to put up with the verdict of the judge in a dispute with Apple. Epic Games has asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to review the case.

Despite the fact that the court ordered Apple to allow other forms of payment in App Store applications (even if only in the format of links / buttons), Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney was dissatisfied with the decision, unlike Apple management.

Apple has issued an indefinite injunction. Now the company has no right to prohibit developers from inserting links to other payment methods into iOS applications.

Epic Games decided to take advantage of the changes in the legislation of South Korea and tried to return Fortnite to the local App Store. That’s just Apple did not agree — she did not see any reason to return the game.

In Australia, the hearing on the case of Epic Games and Apple will continue. He was “frozen” in April due to a similar trial in the United States. But now the court agreed with the arguments of the creators of Fortnite and recognized that the situation should be considered from the point of view of local laws.

Neither Epic Games nor Apple may get what they want as a result of court proceedings. This is indicated by the statements of Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers (Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers). But whatever decision she makes, an appeal is “almost inevitable.”
