So this isn't something that is going to go away for quite a while. Over in the EU, the company is going to have to basically redo its App Store rules as they say over there that Apple has to provide a means for third-party app developers to be able to provide ways for them to- customers rather, to purchase apps on the App Store, not just through Apple's own Apple payment process. And you're not going to have this put into place now. We want them to do it now.īut Justice Kagan basically said, no, they're going to be able to wait.
Now, this win today for Apple comes after Epic had tried to lobby the Supreme Court and say, look, we don't want Apple to have to wait or to be able to wait for their time before the court to put this into effect.
But they put a hold on forcing the company to put the rules into place so that they could go to file a appeal with the Supreme Court. Now, the Ninth Circuit court had upheld that saying that Apple did have to provide that. You would be taken off in the case of Fortnite to Epic's site where they could offer potentially a lower price than what Apple would charge. So the company had to allow companies that work through the App Store to provide a means for their customers to find ways to subscribe to their services or purchase their apps on their own sites, meaning that there would be a link or a button saying buy here. But the judge in that case had said that Apple's antisteering rules weren't allowed. They weren't found guilty of any anticompetitive behavior. And companies like Epic, Spotify, and others have said that that's unfair. You'll remember that if a company sells an app through the App Store, they're charged between 15% and 30% of the sale price for the use of the App Store itself. This goes back to the Epic Games lawsuit that that company had filed against Apple claiming that it violated antitrust laws in preventing companies from being able to offer third-party payment options in the App Store.
